Scumbria yet another example of luck. Cold war is expensive but due to the large spending at the time the cold war is mostly over and who is credited for that? Of course the person who did not need to spend and did not contribute that is Clinton. Regards -Albert

Scumbria, Re: a $billion/day in interest on Reagan/Bush debt The gross federal debt accumulated under Reagan/Bush was approximately $3.093 trillion. Current total debt is about $5.686 trillion. So Reagan/Bush "accounts" for about 54.4% of the debt. Interest payments on this debt are running about $220 billion/year. Without a nasty and difficult exercise to sort out the interest rates on the debt, I'll assume, reasonably, that the interest on the "Reagan/Bush" debt is 54.4% of the interest, about $119.7 billion/year. This comes to roughly $.33 billion per day. So you were only off by a factor of three. To what do you attribute this dramatic increase in your accuracy? Craig
