BTW, those of you saying we had a surplus during the Clinton years need to go back to economics class. We haven't had a surplus since the 1800s if I remember.
Oh, you mean a BUDGET surplus. Gottcha. True! But not a "surplus". Paying off the debt is good, but to define that as a surplus in broad terms is inaccurate.
Anyway, our debt is in bad shape, and I'm pretty ashamed that Bush has spent so vigorously. Hopefully that'll change whomever gets elected next.

Oh! So Iraq isn't why we are 10 trillion in debt. We would have been 10 trillion in debt without Iraq. Gottcha.
