We will only learn how RIGHT Bush has done things when we elect the wrong President. Well, JDN, given the major party candidates currently on display from both major parties, I'd say we'll elect the wrong president with about 100% certainty within the next 12 months! So if your statement is true, you don't have long to wait to be vindicated (on Bush, not JAVA). GGG --QS

Yeah, the Dems will really put us in the dog house if they raise some taxes, compared to the fiscal moderation of Bushco. This was sent to me this morning by a friend, with the caption "what have we done to ourselves". This friend is not another garden-variety know-it-all internut (like me), he's one of the most learned, accomplished and intelligent men I know. --QS The opinion of another shrill hysteric? Just David M. Walker, the Comptroller General of the United States and head of the GAO: In a recent speech at the National Press Club, Walker said, "If the federal government was a private corporation and the same report came out this morning, our stock would be dropping and there would be talk about whether the company's management and directors needed a major shake-up." Walker urged greater transparency and accountability over the federal government's operations, financial condition, and fiscal outlook... "The federal government's fiscal exposures totaled approximately $53 trillion as of September 30, 2007, up more than $2 trillion from September 30, 2006, and an increase of close to $33 trillion from about $20 trillion as of September 30, 2000," Walker said. "This translates into a current burden of about $175,000 per American or approximately $455,000 per American household."
