Revenue Revelation Let's see........the debt just before Bush took over was: $5,674,178,209,886.86 Here's the debt as of 5/11/2006 to the penny.....less than 5 years later: $8,357,988,734,259.29 publicdebt.treas.gov That's roughly a 60% increase in less than 5 years. If tax revenues are doing so well, why is US debt skyrocketing, genius? Under Clinton, this was the debt when he took over: $4,064,620,655,521.66 This was the debt 8 years later just before he left office: $5,674,178,209,886.86 That's roughly a 39% increase in 8 years. Do you see the difference, shortie: That's 60% in 4+ years vs 39% over 8 years. Do you get it, shortie? Your little factoid means squat when it comes to the macro picture. Bush is smothering us in debt. And it was the same for Bush's father...big bush: In 4 years, the debt when from $2,602,337,712,041.16 to $4,064,620,655,521.66 or a roughly 58% increase. If the truth be told, the US can't afford the Bushes. They are hazardous to our health. In fact, they are worse than smoking cigarettes! Do you smoke, shortie? I thought so.
