lies or ignorance

This article is a little ridiculous, but has one very quotable quote:

[sarcasm][Obama] will create that enormous new government health program, spend billions to transform our energy economy, provide financial assistance to former Soviet satellites, invest in infrastructure, increase education spending, provide job training assistance, and give 95% of Americans a tax (ahem) cut -- all without raising the deficit a single penny! And he'll do it in the middle of a financial crisis. And with falling tax revenues! Voila!

A similar statement could be made about Senator McCain who plans simply to shift his tax cuts around a bit but also promises the moon, the sun and the stars. A little reality, please! Has neither of these candidates sat down with a bevy of accountants yet and figured out (a) what they used to want to do and now won't be able to or (b) how much the deficit would increase if they continue with the original plan? Or, are they simply lying to us (by omission)? I think the latter is actually less scary than ignorance.
