700 billion dollar bailout + 600 billion dollar deficit + 700 billion dollar current acount deficit

[Elwood P Dowd]

all in one freaking year.....2008. Two trillion dollars in one single year! When Bushitler leaves office, he might just hit the 9 trillion dollar mark with the twin deficits. James Buchanan is no longer "The Worst President Ever".

Edit to add: The 9 trillion dollars is the total amount of budget and current account deficits under Bush - not the total national debt.

2. 2 Trillion.

He seems to be standing on the order of his leaving.

3. I heard we're looking at an $11 trillion debt.

I remember feeling so outraged when it hit $7 trillion. It's just unbelievable.

4. Don't forget the current account.

The corporate media doesn't want to talk about that. I wonder why? :sarcasm:
