Irresponsible (financial) reporting

It’s the same kind of thing you see when a new movie sets some sort of sales record. It’s irresponsible to say things like “Ottawa is past the halfway mark to the biggest deficit in the country’s history…”
In nominal terms, assuming the general trend is to have some level of deficit, every year is likely to have the largest deficit ever.
