Now want to increase debt limit

Dem's now want to increase the debt limit by $1.9T. Wonder what they want to spend it on?

Clearly this is the fault of George W. Bush, **** Cheney and Carl Rove.


FWIW, check out the debt and liability per US citizen at http://www.usdebtclock.org/

The national debt is just under $40,000 per citizen and about $112,000 per taxpayer (does not include state government debt, personal debt or unfunded liabilities made by the government).

The unfunded liabilities are the BIG problem, and they are not even included in the current debt.

Katy bar the door on [B]all[B] further spending except for defense, stop the pork and try living with what we have for a while. We have to do it, why not them?
