I think he just said that. How sick is that, or talk me down. Is it that bad?

3. Thanks, and how disgraceful. Once we get past

certain numbers. they don't matter.

407 Billion now?

Angry would work, for all of us.

5. they've been putting

their shoulders to the grindstone. i firmly believe we will be flat broke when (if?) they leave!!

2. Thankfully it's the deficit and not the national debt.

That took seven years, despite all the hard work W 'n Dick have put into it.

4. We have two bills ? Ugh. I didn't know.

I do recall that the military debt isn't included, so the figures are not valid. Imagine.

6. Old bills, new charges, hungry bankers...

and our drunken, gambling, stripper loving brother in law has the credit card.

On Edit:

And the whole family's just been laid off.
