"The White House on Monday said the new estimate of the budget deficit would nearly reach $2 trillion - that's trillion, with a "t" - and that's nearly 13 percent of the entire gross domestic product.

Alas, the country's predicament, if not yet the president's, is probably worse than it looks." -Pruden/Washingtion Times

The collective stupidity of congress has filled up the tank, and the wheelman is heading the wrong way. The only green part of it, is the color we are now bleeding. -Waldo
