2001 to 2009 = 1921 to 1929 on steroids when you start adding up dollars.

[Elwood P Dowd]

The "real" total of the budget and current account deficits under Bush will probably be close to 10 TRILLION DOLLARS when the accounting is done this year and all the "off budget" crap and bailouts are added. We will also still be paying for crap like the Medicare Drug Bill and the Iraq War for years to come. Then there is the interest on all the debts from the Spoiled George Error! I will stop here. That is enough to keep me awake at night.
