TWO BUDGETS, ONE GOAL: The interim cabinet of Prime Minister
Jan Fischer may prepare two variations of the 2011 budget plan
-- one more suitable for a right-leaning government and one for
a leftist cabinet. Both will have a similar deficit, and the
winner of next year's election, expected by June, can then
choose, Fischer said.
He added the 2011 deficit could be lower than 5.5 percent.
