"Bush lied about being strong on defense … his military spending benefits
contractors, while short-changing the number of combat troops needed and
reduces health benefits for our veterans. Bush lied that his wealth tax
cuts would not endanger our budget surplus, but now we’re over $8 trillion
in debt costing each of us over $25,000.”

"Bush lied about being strong on defense … his military spending short-changes
combat troops and veterans while enriching cronies and contractors. Bush lied
that his wealth tax cuts would not endanger our budget surplus, but now we’re
over $8 trillion in debt costing every taxpayer over $25,000 and unfairly
burdening our children.”

note - is that $25,000 per citizen or per taxpayer? I thought it might be more
powerful rhetoric to say “every taxpayer” rather than “each of us,” but I don't
know if that renders the $25,000 figure inaccurate.
