OT: National Debt at Record $9 Trillion |

National Debt Hits $9 Trillion for the First Time
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The national debt has hit $9 trillion for the first time.
The Treasury Department, which issues a daily accounting of the debt, said
Wednesday that the debt subject to limit was at $9 trillion on Tuesday. It
was $8.996 trillion on Monday.
Last month, Congress passed and President Bush signed into law an increase
in the government's borrowing ceiling to $9.815 trillion. It was the fifth
debt limit increase since Bush took office in January 2001. Those increases
have totaled $3.865 trillion.
The administration contends the rising debt reflects such factors as slow
economic growth during the 2001 recession, the Sept. 11 attacks and the cost
of fighting terrorism.
Democrats place much of the blame for the exploding debt on Bush's
first-term tax cuts, which they say are tilted to the wealthy. The
administration says those tax cuts helped to jump-start the economy and
resulted in falling budget deficits in recent years.
The tax cuts are set to expire at the end of 2010. The administration and
Republicans in Congress want to see them made permanent; many Democrats
would like to see them revamped to provide more benefits to lower and
middle-income taxpayers.
The budget deficit for the 2007 budget year, which ended Sept. 30, was
$162.8 billion, the lowest in five years.
In 2004, the deficit was $413 billion, a record in dollar terms.
The national debt is the total of the annual budget deficits plus money that
the government borrows from the Social Security and other government trust
funds.
The total national debt is actually higher than $9 trillion because it
includes borrowing by some agencies that are not covered by the
congressional debt limit. That total was $9.086 trillion on Tuesday.
It took the country from George Washington until Ronald Reagan to reach the
first $1 trillion in debt.

Oh. So we can forget all those other record-high
debt levels Bush set all those other years?
Oh, well. When you're a Bush supporter you've
got to invent "Success" where you can...

And this has to do with alt.abortion and alt.atheism in which way
exactly?
Why don't you find someone "real" to discuss these things? Oh, that's
right, no one in his/her right mind wants to spend time with you...
Ever wondered why?
As for the topic, well that's your reward for voting twice for a moron.

<tomfoolery> there's a small fire burning in my room
<beretta> lemme guess im supposed to act suprised that you're telling us
and not making any attempt to extinguish it, so i can submit it to bash
where it will join the ranks of the other "SOMETHING CATOSTROPHIC
HAPPENED SO I CAME TO TELL YOU GUYS ON IRC FIRST INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING
TO DEFUSE THE HOSTILE SITUATION" quotes that are grossly abundant,
similar, and overrated. and despite a new one is submitted each week and
only the location of the fire is altered, loyal viewers firmly believe it
is a unique and hilarious quotation, pledging support in the form of
unneccesary votes

Actually, it did. It's now only slightly more valuable than the US dollar.
(For now)
