Steve, put aside the political rhetoric, and stay focused on advocating reduction in deficit. That chart was a graph of all debt thru Dec 2002, which is basically prior to the wars. (Tejek, you had asked if the chart included govt debt, and it does. As it says, "Total Credit Market Debt - All Sectors", including govt debt.)

Here is one thing I actually agree with Bush on (below) - but no surprise that the male-dominated Congress doesn't:

Bush favors the business community argument that the workplace has been transformed because of two-parent working families and that family time is precious.

In June, House Republican leaders yanked an overtime pay bill after failing to find enough votes for passage, a rare win for labor unions in the GOP-controlled Congress. The pullback followed a massive lobbying effort by organized labor that targeted moderate House Republicans.

The measure would let hourly workers who log more than 40 hours in a week choose between overtime pay or compensatory time off at a later date. Private companies are barred under the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act from offering comp time as an option to millions of workers covered by the law.
