Facts are still facts and opinions are opininons.

This is true. Fact... the national debt has increased as much under GW Bush as under all other presidents combined. Fact... the Republican controlled congress has raised the debt ceiling to nine TRILLION dollars. Fact... "When President Bush took office five years ago, the national debt was at $5.6 trillion; since then, big budget surpluses have collapsed into huge deficits, and the debt has shot up nearly 50 percent.", and now they are planning to allow the debt to increase to 9 trillion dollars."

That's a pretty stark reality, Guest,11 Jul 06 - 01:55 PM. Wrap your brain around that one for a few minutes... (clearly, neither you nor the Hubster are fiscal conservatives, but maybe this will make you nervous nevertheless)...

When George W Bush took office, the national debt was 5.6 trillion dollars. The national debt is now more than 8 trillion dollars and congress expects it to reach 9 trillion dollars. When it reaches 9 trillion dollars, President George W Bush and the Republican controlled congress will be responsible for almost doubling the national debt in less than 8 years with their borrow and spend fiscal policies.

Tax revenues are up from what, Guest,11 Jul 06 - 01:55 PM, and what does that mean?
