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?







The United States of Corporate-ism

No corporations, no need for unions.



Of course, you haven't a clue as to what corporate-ism is, do you?




Why are you against the engines of our economy and prosperity?
