Even the sailors are angry, because people are comparing this spending to some tipsy sailors'... Which frankly is an insult to the sailors... The US must have a bottomless money pit..."They want to test our feelings.They want to know whether Muslims are extremists or not. Death to them and their newspapers."

Originally posted by Roosveltrepub View PostI wonder how we ran up so much debt with those deficits earlier in the decade. In the visual it only looks like a couple trillion.
For example, in 2003, the fiscal situation for the federal gov't was:
On-budget surplus: $-538 billion
Off-budget surplus: +$160 billion
Total surplus: -$378 billion
So the actual deficit was $378 billion, while the government accrued $538 billion in debt, $160 billion of which was debt one government department owes to two government agencies. Make sense?"Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes."
