President Bush and the current administration have borrowed more money from foreign governments and banks than the previous 42 presidents combined, a group of conservative to moderate Democrats said Friday.
Blue Dog Coalition, which describes itself as a group "focused on fiscal responsibility," called the administration's borrowing practices "astounding."
According to the Treasury Department, from 1776-2000, the first 224 years of U.S. history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions, but in the past four years alone, the Bush administration borrowed $1.05 trillion.
Where is the personal responsibility from this President? This debt will be passed on to our children and their children. George Bush does not have to pay this money back! My grandchildren will be making good on his spending spree!
George Bush is unfit for every part of the job of President! He cannot handle money! He cannot handle diplomacy! He cannot deal with natural disasters! He cannot lead this country!
The lesson for us is to hold our leaders to a higher standard.
No more sound bites!
No more folksy, good old boy bullshit!
No more personal attacks on their opponents!
No more special interest group backed candidates!
No more politics as usual!
We owe our children so much more then this! Don't let yourselves be scared into voting for the guy who puffs up his chest and plays the tough guy. We need the guy that may appear quiet but knows when to use the big stick or when to use quiet diplomacy. We need the guy who says what he believes and not what his focus group says we want to hear. We need the guy who feels our pain and not just in front of the cameras. We need the guy who appoints competent individuals to the most important offices in the land. We need a real President!
