1. Yikes
And where is Ross Perot now when it's worse than it was when he was complaining about it. What was that all about?

6. And this is just the annual deficit
which shows our cash flow problem. The other problem is the total debt.

7. Bushco is a disaster.
As more jobs are shipped overseas, wages at home decline, and rich turds and corporations pay fewer taxes, it will be increasingly difficult to dig out of this hole. Much more difficult than Clinton/Gore digging out of the abyss left by Reagan/Bush.

Good luck kids.

8. I heard this morning that Bush says his "deficit reduction plan" is right
on track.

He still plans to halve the deficit by 2009.

9. He "Mis-spoked" Again
He meant to say his deficit plan is right on crack.

11. It struck me this AM
this country is a complete train wreck, already and getting worse, and 51% of Americans are sleeping in the sleeper cars. I sometimes wish I were asleep too - it would not be so worrisome.

13. Californians were quick to recall their Governor for Fiscal Malfeasance
and he wasn't even close to this sort of fiscal insanity. If one were to compare the records of Davis and Bush* and the percentage of debt/deficit to GDP you would see Davis was a fiscal genius compared to this current Administration.
