oh my head

The Senate approved a plan to raise the debt ceiling by $800 billion today. This will allow the federal government to increase it's debt load to $8.18 TRILLION...or almost $30,000 per man, woman, and child living within our borders. This number is $2.23 TRILLION more than when Bush first stepped into the front door of the White House (and remember then that the debt was actually shrinking down from it's height at the time thanks to Clinton).

When I'm 54 and trying to put my kids through college, I'm going to be paying taxes that were raised just to pay the interest on this thing...leaving less for their education. God Bless George Bush for not leaving any kids behind, eh?
