Your tax dollars at WORK!!
A statement released by Senate Democrats said that under Bush's
watch, federal spending has increased 50 percent to $2.78 trillion
since 2001; the $236 billion surplus he inherited has been turned
into the three largest deficits in U.S. history; and national debt has
risen $3 trillion to $8.9 trillion.
"After running up $3 trillion in new debt -- including
more than half a trillion dollars for his flawed Iraq
policy -- it is astounding that the president is once again
lecturing Congress about fiscal responsibility," said
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada.
"Democrats are investing in the priorities of America'smiddle class families, veterans and children, and are
dedicated to fighting terror more effectively; President
Bush wants to continue investing only in Iraq."
