Bush started out with $5 trillion national debt and increased it to $11 trillion and not a peep about saddling poor innocent grandchildren with this onerous and unfair heavy load. At least $2 trillion of tax cuts went to the very,very wealthy,like Cindy McCain who was given every thing and can charge $700,000 per month on her credit card.
Now we are to believe if we tax Cindy in the midst of a recession it will destroy everything.These beliefs show one the powerful effect of TV and radio propaganda.
