Mr. Bush is going to bankrupt this country. His political motivated
selfish tax cuts are going to put a terrible burden on our children.

FUCK THE FUCKERS THAT YOU ARE WITH AND HAIL TO THE FIGHTERS THAT YOU ARE
AGAINST YOU FUCKING TWINKIE INFESTED PIECE OF SHIT....
karen is the worst kind of radlib.....a radlib in a socialist land
commenting on another country's domestic issues.
I was told the same thing when I was in high school 20 years ago. Still
waiting for this "burden" to hit me.
The debt was not the same 20 years ago.
The current debt is the deepest in the history of the U.S.A.

Central bank leaders warn U-S over massive deficits
LONDON
The Group of Seven finance ministers are preparing to meet in London
-- and one of the topics of discussion will be America's budget and
trade deficits.
Some of the world's major central bankers are warning the U.S. the
international community could be running out of patience.
They say America's red ink is pushing the dollar lower and increasing
the cost of their exports to America.

The Communist Chinese own most of the US paper now and Bush has devalued
the dollar so much that people don't want anymore of it. That means that
the USA will find it increasingly harder to find easy loans.
The Right Wingers in the USA refuse to accept responsibility for their own
costs, yet bellow about self reliance as being the code of the Republican
philosophy. They are hypocrites who are borrowing and spending like
there's no tomorrow yet refusing to pay for it through taxes. The selfish
right wingers just want the debt load to sit on the shoulders of their
descendants and only think of themselves. They will reap what they sow,
the ignorant hypocrite cunts.
