US-POLITICS-ECONOMY-BUDGET-DEFENSE
US Defense Secretary Robert Gates (L) speaks as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen listens during a press conference to discuss the budget proposal, as well as two defense reviews and a FY2010 supplemental war funding request at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, on February 1, 2010. US President Barack Obama's administration acknowledged that the budget deficit will swell to a record 1.556 trillion dollars but called for a bipartisan panel to reduce red ink to sustainable levels. The White House had earlier forecast a budget gap of 1.502 trillion dollars in the 2010 fiscal year ending September 30 as the administration poured immense resources to contain a serious financial crisis that plunged the nation into recession.
