Where the federal debt is concerned, Republicans are #1.

The Bush administration and the Republican Party seem to have lost all
capacity for financial self-control, turning their backs on the GOP's
historical record of responsible fiscal management.

and unfunded fiscal commitments are over $43 trillion and rising. . . .
Yes, that's trillions with 12 zeros rather than billions with nine zeros."

couple of years.

Ahh, well, so what if Bush is spending like a drunken sailor...I mean,
it doesn't matter, right?


Apparently so long as a republican is in office, he can do no wrong.

Since WWII, Reagan and the two Bushes are the only Presidents to add to
the Gross Federal Debt.

Indeed. I see his responses to posts I make when someone comments on them.
He seems infatuated with those who he says he killfiles. Makes sense, eh?

And he whines about others supposedly changing ID's yet he does it
constantly because he has been killfiled by so many people.

This chart hides whatever the GDP was doing at the same time. If the GDP was
decreasing, and the debt remained constant, the chart would show an increase in
the percent of GDP. It is a typical liberal manner of showing data.

Find a chart with *both* numbers tracked. Then one can see what actually
occurred.

I wonder how much he charges for a ticket to his killfile (if he has one). I'd
like to sign up.

John -- rather than just challenging the data provided, why don't *YOU*
provide data to refute the argument. You're not in a classroom here!
