Less than 5 years later - we wish for ONLY $9 TRILLION in debt as we now have %16+ TRILLION!

"The problem is that the way [President] Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion dollars for the first 42 presidents -- number 43 added $4 trillion dollars by his lonesome -- so that we now have over $9 trillion dollars of debt that we are going to have to pay back. [That's] $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic."

-- Barack Hussein Obama(1961-) 44th President of the United States
