Bush Bankrupts America: During February of 2001, a month after taking office, Spinmeister Bush told the country that his administration would oversee a $2 trillion dollar reduction in the national budget. He lied.

By the year 2010, according to the administration's own estimates, the country will owe $10.8 trillion of debt, much of it to foreign nationals in Japan and China. (Yes, that's China as in "Red China." Remember that term?) This figure constitutes, roughly, a doubling of the national debt since the Bush-ites assumed office and began the process of enriching the already rich at the expense of working folks.

American babies born in 2010 will begin life by owing the rest of the world $150,000 each. Yup, that's right folks. Let's see, what does the average house cost? What does a college education cost? Better start planning for boy babies with lots of testosterone so they can get those college scholarships.

Bush will tell you, ad nauseam, that the world changed after 9/11, thus justifying the heavy debt load. Ask him for me why it didn't change the tax cut fiasco?

Your sons and daughters are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan while Bush's rich pals keep getting richer and richer, and the country owes the Chinese and the Japanese more and more money.

"Neo-Con": A con artist who tells you the government is evil, then convinces you to take out a loan against your house and to give him the money so that he can prove it to you.
