Its official! Bush broke the NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK!
The national debt was 5.6 Trillion when George Dubya Bush took office in 2001. It is now 10.3 Trillion...and he's got another 4 months to add to his "legacy"!

4. 'Tis what the search function is fer - though it doesn't always turn up a match
when the subject has already been posted either. But it works sometimes (if you use the correct search term - such as "debt clock").

8. Ah yes, the search button.
For donors only, which I haven't been able to be for over a year.

But I'm positive about it - just got a job and the first 2 checks to be written will be to DU and Obama's campaign.

5. 'Mornin! :)
I do it too sometimes. I try to search first but unless you use just the right term, a previous post won't turn up.

13. Because this particular post has surfaced so many times in the past two days...
...I duplicate one usually when I do it. But, this one is becoming like the PBS poll!

6. REPUBLICANS broke the National Debt Clock.
Bush is no more of a big spender than any republican president since Eisenhower. If Bush was a democrat he would be the biggest spending democrat since WWII.
