Liar. National DEBT increased 55%+ under Bush.

He's a fiscal disaster for the country as are all Republicans from Reagan on out. Republicans are forever trying to bleed the US Treasury dry -- and into their own pockets -- to achieve the Grover Norquist dream of making it so small Grover can drown it in his bathtub.

That's not a supposition, that's the rightwing's stated position.

Rightwingers are always an economic and fiscal disaster for the country. The US is selling off pieces of itself to furriners in order to finance the debt and current consumption. This past year was the first time that we experienced a quarter (if I remember correctly, the story came and went with a whimper) Americans actually consumed more than we produced.

That's a disaster in any decent person's book.

Rightwingers are so incompetent fiscally that, only through the hard work of the middle class, has the US been able to get furriners to continue to finance said debt. In the future, however, furriners will looks increasingly askance at financing out of control and wasteful current consumption and turn off the taps.

Even worse, they will use it as a weapon against us. That day is fast approaching thanks to Republicans. How's that for domestic security?
