"not massive as a portion of the economy" LOL...I am SO SICK of hearing that. You know how many land developers were saying pretty much the same thing in 2005??? It was true at the time. The heavy debt they were carrying was O.K. cause they could easily COVER it...No big deal. You can find most of those guys in bankruptcy court now. IT IS A BIG DEAL when your Country is spending as MUCH on INTEREST PAYMENTS as it is on National Defense!!!!! TO THE CHINESE for much of it. If you don't think the debt/GNP ratio looks bad now, then wait until later this year. "much smaller ones than a number of other presidents have made" No Administration has ever come close to BOTCHING a War this badly. They went into it without even having a plan for what would happen after they won the military part of it. "Katrina was a storm not a presidential policy" If you had been on one of those roofs waving to the helicopters I think you might have had a different opinion.
