The 8 trillion dollar debt is a major concern.
Bush's 350 billion dollar a year deficits is astronomical?
Do you believe the debt is important? How much higher will Bush raise the debt?

I believe the debt is important and that Bush has failed traditional conservative voters, such as myself.
I voted for him based on financial concerns, and he has been a complete failure on many fronts.

I would be happy if it would already by down to 8 trillion. The number already exceeded 8.5 trillion. http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/
The debt ceiling is currently set at 9 trillion and those failures in Washington behave as if we would have 500 billion "in the bank". Mark my words, as soon as we approach that 9 trillion ceiling, they will not hesitate (of course after some alibi deliberations and discussions) to raise that to 11 trillion or whatever number they come up with.
The inflation is going to kill the economy and the smart money already left the country; or why do you think that the Gold price is sky high? Smart money seeks refuge in a currency that actually has some backing.

It's scary as hell! It gets higher and higher every day, and I find it hard to imagine that it will ever be paid off in our lifetime. It's amazing how Bush took Clinton's surplus and turned it into a record deficit. What's even more amazing is the fact that some Republicans try to blame Clinton for Bush's deficit!

The debt is very important. At some point the credit will end and so will the enonomy of the USA. Hope its after I'm gone because it won't be a nice place to live. All the illegals will be going in the other direction and so will we.

Well as far as I know there wasn't one before Bush took over so he has been in office for six years at 8 trillion so to more years to go I figure about 1.3 trillion a year so that would be an additonal 2.6 trillion raising it to 10.6 trillion.

Bush's deficit equates to Clinton surplus?, peacetime vs. wartime?, and Clinton actually depleted military for 8 years, so not only cost of waging war, but to rebuild war machine. Oh and that military that affords you opportunity to keep posting on yahoo answers.
