How big is this debt that Bush is leaving to the next President?
don't concern yourself about the financial problems this president will leave what is more of a worry is the unstable situation he has placed the West in, we now have no allies in the East.


Pakistan Iran Afghanistan and yes even Russia all hate the West, we in Britain under the leadership of Mr Blair followed Bush and marched into Iraq ( a big mistake) America under Bush showed what arrogant bullies they were, the only good thing is a lot of decent Americans disagreed with the war but he went ahead anyway.I hope that the next tenant of the White house will be more of a peace maker because if not I believe we will soon see an uprising in the east against the west I pray that peace will prevail .It is said we will soon go through a recession lets pray this will be the only bad times we will go through. I pray for peace for all the world.
Reply:Well, the debt is very large, but let's not act like it is Bush's debt. There has almost always been debt, and the pres. doesn't make most spending decisions, they are voted on by the congress. Know that I am not a great Bush supporter, I just don't think it's fair to say that Bush has left this debt. There's a much larger responsibility
Reply:What debt?


Sure?


Not zeroes?


In pulling the slot machine?


Having hit the jackpot?


Should have borrowed more earlier.


Until the banker go broke with the jackpot.


Having all sevens on the slot machine.

Reply:the 'surplus' clinton supposedly handed bush was not. it was creative accounting, playing with SS.





Bush does not 'own' 9/11 or the subsequent necessary wars.





Bush did not make natural disasters of the like the US has seen in the last 8 years.
Reply:The next President will not have a hard act to follow. Particularly if he wants to play to the extremist Gallery of the anti-west terrorists.
Reply:About 14 trillion dollars, a world record by any standard. But people who voted for Bush need not worry because I am sure they are on welfare for the mentally handicapped.
Reply:It is not so much Bush as al Qaeda and friends. Also, the Medicare Part D is quite expensive -- but this is mostly a creature of Congress.
Reply:Congress, both Dems and Republicans, have made this problem worse. Democrats continue to propose and pass more spending and the Republicans are too wimpy to stop them.






Reply:lets keep in mind that bush was also handed a debt, and although he should have vetoed a lot of bills to save $ our debt was a bipartisan effort.
Reply:Want the total debt or the limited debt used for a Democrat President?

Presidents don't 'borrow', congress spends.
