My daughter Abby sends an alarming piece of data – our level of debt to the world. It’s a staggering $862,300,000,000 – putting us on top of the world, eight-fold higher than the nearest competitor. But that’s only a piece of our overall debt – $9,000,000,000,000. It brings into question Bush’s request for almost $200,000,000,000 to fight his war in Iraq for another year. Best I can tell, the only things in it for us is to justify his colossal mistake sending us there in the first place, feeding the coffers of the likes of Blackwater and Halliburton, and keeping the Cheney’s dead-end dream of pumping the oil under the Iraqi sands to the United States [to sustain our contribution to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere]. Bush and his Republican colleagues continue to talk about the big spending Democratic Party when they’re on the campaign trail; and they continue to talk about lowering taxes, or about cutting taxes, while spending at the speed of light.
