If I recall correctly, Bush entered office with a budget surplus. Now, not only do we have a deficit, but Bush has single-handedly run up half as much debt as all the other presidents in history combined. These are facts.

Now here's the confusing part... Republicans seem to assert that the economy has never been better, yet no efforts so far have paid even ONE dollar back into the debt. Now, if -I- had a debt which was always growing larger and never growing smaller, it would think that was a pretty serious problem.
I mean, it's nice if the stocks are high (if you're richer than me and can afford stocks), and it's nice that people have jobs and all, but if the sum of that equation brings us closer to bankruptcy every day, why DOESN'T that mean the economy is sick?
