Not true. You can have a *budget* surplus and still have debt. Bush
did inherit a $128 billion surplus.

According to the Repubs here, it just isn't *fair* to keep bringing up
Bush as if he were responsible for the messes Obama inherited.

Being pretty much a fiscal conservative, I definitely don't like the
level of debt we have. 60% GDP seems pretty scary to me, but we are
not alone. Canada, Germany, France, all have a slightly higher
percentage, but what I find astounding is Japan, 170% GDP.

Much of the new debt is for cleaning up the messes Bush left behind
via nonfeasance, malfeasance, or misfeasance.

Would somebody please give the record player a slight tap it is stuck in
the same groove again.



Awwww. What's the matter, Bertie? You thought everyone would forget that
your boy Bush was the worst president ever, and that he royally screwed
this country?

Not a chance.
