It Depends Upon What You Mean By "Budget"
As we speak, and you read, and I write, whatever, I'm looking for the Doyle ad that claims how he "balanced the budget". This was touted as one of the "Doyle's a great guy" brownie points in his ads.
So wtf happened in the last couple of weeks? How did we suddenly get a $1.6 billion deficit?
And when Doyle comes back to molest us with more/higher taxes, you know what I think should be done?
I think that we should start forwarding our tax bills to the tribes and contractors and other pinheads that have benefited from Doyle's administration. Seriously. Or file a class action lawsuit. Something that stinks as much as Doyle does.
Or here's another approach: he's not MY governor. Hell if I'm going to pay his taxes.

I love the latest Wisconsin Lib talking point your seeing all over in comments.
"Well its not really a deficit yet, its a projected deficit yada yada yada "
They are desperate to not have it look like Diamond Jim lied about the budget being balanced during the run up to the election.
He's simply devoid of value. I don't know how he finds his way through life.
Perhaps he'll burn in hell?
There are some things you can trust Chris for--Klingon translations, for example--but not this. The budget that has a "deficit" is for the next biennium, a budget that has not been written yet, not been voted on, not been made law. There's a gap between what agnecies want and what we're projected to take in. It's like saying my family's budget is in deficit because I want a Prius but I can only afford a Cobalt.
Misleading headline notwithstanding, the current biennium is expected to end (by the non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau, of all people) with a modest surplus.
"The budget that has a "deficit" is for the next biennium.."
Hey, didn't ENRON do their accounting via projections?
