You're confusing the national deficit with the national debt (important distinction). The national deficit is actually projected to be $410 billion this year, while the national debt currently stands at 9.6T. Both of those numbers are very large and, in my opinion, very bad for the country. Ending the war in Iraq will help, but you won't see all that cash go towards paying down the debt. Unfortunately, rectifying our national financial situation is going to require fewer government programs or a sizable increase in taxes, neither of which will make Americans very happy. I hope we can figure out how to get the nation out of the red. I'm just not sure how we're going to do that in the near future. Woah, hold up.

Mr Bush in my opinion has done so much damage to the US that it might take a few presidents to recover from it (if at all possible). A depression might be exactly what's needed.

Our military is being spread thin and we are mortgaging our kids future to feed that machine and pay the contractors. We are overextended on credit (personal and governmental), and it leads us into deep trouble. Fern is right, what exactly are we going to do about Russia and Georgia besides get all huffy? My family is moving overseas next month - coincidentally - and we are interested to see how things work elsewhere with finances and health insurance and all of that.

Meanwhile, Bush threatened to veto the housing bill becus some money would go to states to rebuild blighted neighborhoods where crackheads and drug dealers have taken possession of foreclosed homes. bush has run this country into the ground and we're so overextended right now, how could we ever do more than swagger with Putin over Ukraine? He knows we can't do anything more than talk and that's emboldening him and North Korea and who knows who else. Politicians live a cushy life; once elected to Congress, they'll never have to worry about affording health insurance again, for the rest of their lives. Are they really in touch with what America needs? Why has it taken so long to rein in the credit card industry's predatory practices? How did the sub-prime mess happen? It all comes down to greed, and the fat cats aren't willing to rock the boat. .54 of every tax dollar goes to fund the war.
