1. Sheesh, a trillion here, a trillion there, pretty soon we're talking

some serious money!!!!!!!!

[jackbourassa]

2. The national debt will reach...

$9.3 trillion by the time Bush leaves office (and that's assuming that no more of his economic policies go through or he doesn't start any more wars). This will equal nearly 70% of the entire GDP.

The national debt doubled under the Bush Administration.

Incredible.

3. But can Bush even count that high?

I barely can and I actually have an ABOVE average I.Q. and an E.Q. to boot!!! :eyes:
