I'm sure it ran up much more than that as US foreign debt is
12.78trillion as of June 2007. Then there is internal debt which is
much higher as the cost of war is at 2.1billion a month on average
for the last four years alone in Iraq. Not to mention the Afghanistan
war, extremely expensive homeland security, botched emergency effort
in New Orleans, dozens of natural disasters, domestic auto sector
being wiped out. The list is long. Most of your foreign debt is to
Canada for energy, raw materials, food and assorted other items. The
only three areas on growth in the US is law enforcement ( ironically
things like 8million aliens aren't criminals), armed forces and the
medical fields. Sad state of direction for any nation.
Do not lose focus on how and where they blew the money-
The one that really fry's me and should have a FULL investigation was
when Bush flew 10 BILLION IN CASH into the waiting hands of military
contractors. You can buy a LOT of votes and loyalty with 10 billion,
just what did they do to deserve such a reward? How much of that made
it back to Bush family coffers?
