Bush Brags About $296 Billion Deficit

President Bush cheerfully announced an annual federal deficit of "only" $296 billion. Our national debt has increased by $3 Trillion under his Administration. We went from fiscal sanity to a pending fiscal disaster. Why this is something to brag about is abslolutely astounding. Compared to last year's deficit this is progress however. The day our President gleefully announces a deficit of "only $296 billion" is a day we all must re-evaluate who we voted for in November 2004. What happened to the concept of fiscal responsibility?

Isn't it time to begin paying for this war? Why are we allowing Red China to finance our war in Iraq?
