U.S. President George W. Bush holds up a laptop computer containing the 2009 budget during a meeting with his cabinet at the White House in Washington February 4, 2008. Bush forecast the budget deficit would more than double in 2008 and blamed a weakening economy as he unveiled a $3.1 trillion spending plan for fiscal 2009 that would nearly freeze domestic programs.
