2001: The national debt will be repaid within a decade
In 2001, the CBO forecast a cumulative 10-year surplus of $5.6 trillion. In reality, it was a cumulative deficit of $6.5 trillion. That's a $12.1 trillion miss.

This is the federal government we're talking about - if they predict a sunny day, run inside
