That's peanuts. Am I right you are therefore against the Bush tax cuts for the rich because of this scenario? That would have made this figure smaller per person, and the rich, who are experts at avoiding taxes by all legal means, would hardly notice any significant difference if those tax cuts were repealled. Problem solved, debt paid. Bush left us with a national debt of 11.3 trillion dollars, plus he hid the cost of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. The national debt clock today shows 12.5 trillion, and Obama had the war costs put on the books properly. So what's your point again Shemp? I don't get it. OffWorld
