What Deficit?

And to think that Clinton left us with a federal budget surplus of $230 billion when Bush came into office and By August 2008, he had run the debt up to $9.6 trillion so why would anyone expect it to be anything other than what it is now since the wars are still not over, and the banks have been bailed out. Now the guy down the street whose job was outsourced because of NAFTA and those same banks that were bailed out have now foreclosed on his mortgage...just ask him what he thinks of the fact that anyone who wants to help him out will be called a Socialist?
