$23 billion is chump change. Bush sold his tax cuts based upon some prediction of $5.6 trillion in surpluses for this decade. The national debt has increased by $3.8 trillion so far, so the actual deficit will likely be around $5 trillion. Bush lost over $10 trillion.

How could any money be missing over there?  Oil revenues are supposed to pay for the whole thing....

Oh yeah.  And they will welcome us as liberators.

We still need to give them apple pie. That'll do it.

Damn. Remember back when everyone thought Bush was going to be kind of fiscally conservative?
