I wish the Dems would send out bills to everyone showing the amount
they owe on the national debt. Just to get the point across what this administration has done to each individual over the last 8 years.

2. I think a bill on just the Interest alone on our National Debt would be shocking.
And it just keeps going up and up. Just think if interest rates were to climb to say six percent, or heaven forbid to eighteen percent as they were in the 70's. What is 3.5% of ten trillion dollars anyway? It probably get's added to our Debt every year as well.

3. Separate bills. One for the war, one for the bank bailout, one for tax cuts for the rich.n/t

6. How large a family?
Two people or five people or ???? I think your number is per person if there are three hundred a fifty million people in the USA.

5. that woud be a GREAT campaign mailing project
Send out a BILL for the IRAQ war, bail out of all the corporate fat cats, etc. Make it look like an itemized list of "charges". Itemize per per person / household etc. Signed Dick and George, and McCain/Palin.

Of course you would have to put disclaimers ALL OVER it to make sure it isnt "confusing" but sheesh. What a way to make a statement.
