How much money has Bush borrowed and is he leave-taking the debt for the next President to pay?
Why doesn’t the next President borrow some more ?
Well – what was the debt when Bush became President – and what will the debt be when he leaves?
How Big Is This Debt That Bush Is Leaving to the Next President?
About 3% of our GDP.
Presidents don’t ‘borrow’, congress spends.
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.
For the war. Do you know what 9/11 cost America.
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.
Well, the debt is very large, but let’s not act like it is Bush’s debt. There has nearly 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 fantastic Bush supporter, I just don’t reckon it’s honest to say that Bush has left this debt. There’s a much larger responsibility
about the same Thatcher/John Major left Blair
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.
Want the total debt or the limited debt used for a Democrat President?
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.
100,000,000,000+ is my guess.
don’t interest 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 **** the West, we in Britain under the leadership of Mr Blair followed Bush and marched into Iraq ( a huge mistake) America under Bush showed what arrogant bullies they were, the only excellent thing is a lot of decent Americans disagreed with the war but he went yet to be anyway.I hope that the next tenant of the Colorless 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 terrible times we will go through. I pray for peace for all the world.
The next President will not have a hard act to stay on. Particularly if he wants to play to the extremist Gallery of the anti-west terrorists.
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.
What debt?
Sure?
Not zeroes?
In pulling the slot machine?
Having hit the roll-over prize?
Should have borrowed more earlier.
Until the banker go broke with the roll-over prize.
Having all sevens on the slot machine.
