4. Dan Rather said that the deficit could go upwards of $750 Billion....
for the 2004-2005 fiscal year. That is what the real number is!

5. Well even if we get a Democrat in office
it is going to suck and it will suck for them and as they try (if they do) to get the country back in order people are going to be screaming and crying.Though some policy changes could make a real difference right away like cutting defense spending....abolishing the hohum marriage act...cutting the flights to Mars and the Moon... taxing corporations appropriatly.Does Bush think this is his money to spend? What about the future? It seems they are deliberatly bankrupting the country.

7. Yes, any dem who defeats bush is going to have is work cut out for him

I fear he may be overwhelmed. All the candidates are pretty good, but we need a GREAT president to lead the whole country (left AND right) out of the swamp that we are up to our necks in.
