Just adding up the Trade Deficit for the same period 08/2001 - 07/2005 is almost another 2.1 Trillion Dollars, that is $2,076,800,000,000.00. The bad news, this year is headed for another George W. Bush trademark - highest trade deficit for a single year in the history of the world! This year's deficit has exceeded last year's all time highest deficit in the history of the world - every month so far! Without counting the Federal Pension fund shortage, the Social Security fund shortage, the new corporate Pension fund bailout shortage and the countless other federal fund shortages, just the Treasury Debt and Trade Deficit debt amount to just under 4.2 Trillion Dollars in four years. Over 1 Trillion Dollars a year and counting! That is roughly $14,000.00 of debt - per man, woman, child and murdered unborn baby in the entire country. That is above and beyond the taxes collected and spent.
These are just plain facts. The facts are very simple and plain, George W. Bush is presiding over the greatest accumulation of debt in the history of the world and is the world's all time leading Big Spender! But If you believe that such spending and debt accumulation can continue - then you should be happy with the current crop of politicians today. Hopefully you have a better grip on reality. You know - the spending and accumulation of debt can not continue and must end. You know - from personal experience there are very few ways to handle excessive debt; paying interest, increasing taxes, lowering quality of life, inflation and devaluation. You know - none of these options are positive things. You know - these are going to be your legacy to your grandchildren if nothing changes. You know - that such irresponsibility is wrong - dead wrong. You also know that nothing will change until you - the citizens make it change! But the longer we wait, the more that things will have to change!
This will not be an over night change, it will be a long walk back up the slippery slope of fiscal irresponsibility that we have been sliding on. But every year that we wait we are digging the hole deeper, at least a Trillion Dollars, that is $1,000,000,000,000.00 deeper. Now for the bad news - the Democrats are almost as bad. Going back to the initial two men mentioned, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Both warned us that our greatest enemy would be a growing central government and George Washington warned us about the corruption that would come with the abuse of political parties. Today their warnings, unheeded, have come home to roost. Way too many in the Republican and Democratic Parties have abandoned our founding Principles, including "limited government" and it is hard to see what will break their collusion with special interests. They have in effect abandoned you - the citizens - and your future generations. Maybe it is time to abandon them until they shape up, if they can. Some suggest that all we need is a return to the "undisciplined spending habits" of the Democrats. Much, much more is needed.

there is no uproar in Congress from either the Republican or
Democratic Parties. In the last 40 years these same two parties,
each taking their turn as the controlling party have converted our
country from the world's largest creditor nation to the world's
largest debtor nation.
