As for the numbers themselves, who the hell knows whether they are accurate

Well, this part is nonsense:


The true 2005 deficit was $760 billion, not the $318.5 billion Bush reported
This is 6.2% of the GDP, not 2.6%
That's $156,000 for every citizen, or $375,000 for every working American


760B/300M = 2,533, not 156,000. If the guy is off by this much on everything...
