Cost of Iraq War and Nation Building
"If we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem. —Bush, Jan. 2001.

The budget for FY 2006 comes to $3,801/Iraqi. Converted to dinars at the offical exchange rate, this is more than double their per person GDP. It's like spending $92,468 per person in the U.S. Why not just bribe the whole country?

Yes he takes it seriously. How could he funnel budgetary monies to his cronies if he didn't know how much pillaging he could get away with?
Seriously...Mr. Howdy Doody and his puppet masters are busy stealing taxpayer funds so a thing like the debt is key in knowing how fat a fat cat can get.
The real deficit to watch is the trade deficit. In Long Beach Harbor alone there is over $500 Billion worth of trade debt to China in a single year. That's money we will never see again. Not even the fat, lazy idly rich Americans will get it. Well at least not directly.
That's why the Neo-Cons are for blocking China. First they set up a global juggernaut, all the while ready to sabotage it, then they will fight for its collapse just to profit from the chaos and bloodshed that will follow.
So sure, Bush knows the federal deficit!

Yes
Do you have any idea how much money the World Bank is making on interest from the money loaned to America?
When you consider the facts like the Skull&Bones own the World Bank and the Bush family men, are life time members. Then it starts to make sense.
Remember that first tax refund everyone got back in 2000. Bush borrowed 80 billion to cover that. Do the math what is the interest just on that loan.
Then comes the war; they wrote a song about it. "Money money maon-ney."
You can complain all you want but it is not aginst the law for a setting president to loan America money.

Among the post-World War II presidents, Bush ranks as the highest in national debt accumulation.
I would have to say NO.

He loves to put the middle and poor people, who pay the debt, in the biggest hole possible!
That doesn't even include the 1/2 Trillion for the fiasco in Iraq!

I think not, isn't it obvious that this guy hasn't had to EVER worry about money, even though he parades around as an average Joe Texan, he is an elitest from Connecticut. He just treats the deficit as Daddy's credit card bill...just keep runnin' it up, he and his ilk will never have to pay for it, our children and grandchildren will pay his tab!

Bush might not even have an understanding of what the federal deficit is.

Why are you saying Bush when it is the Congress which makes those decisions.

Yes, he's done everything he can to get America's money and borrowing power into the pockets of the corporate executives.
He's squeezed us dry and we'll be paying for it for decades.

He must love it. He's increased it by more than all previous presidents combined!
