When $8 trillion isn't enough!

Article on the rising debt Bush is passing on not to America's children, but to their grandchildren.

"If you aren't used to deciphering that parade of zeros, let us translate for you: $8.184 trillion isn't enough. The administration is asking for an additional $781 billion.

The inevitable increase will be the fourth such hike in five years, for a total rise in the national credit limit of more than $3trillion".

During his time in office, President Bush has presided over a 46 percent increase in the federal debt, from about $5.6 trillion.
