$3 trillion in 5 years puts it at $600 billion a year in new debt.

That is more than the GDP of every country in the world except for 15 countries. For example it is more than the GDP of Russia.

It is also equal to about 1.47% of world GDP and 5.14% of US GDP.

Bush has no plan to reduce deficits or pay them off. Just make them grow bigger and bigger. Some say this is a devious plan by the rightwing to "starve the beast", that is bankrupt the government and steal everything they can so that the gov won't be able to afford anymore social programs.

In which case, this is the biggest ripoff in history and very un-Christian.
