The most shocking thing I see there, Pete is that the debt nearly DOUBLED between 2000-2008. And lets see; Who had both the Congress and the Whitehouse from '01 to '07? Why our friends over at the "fiscally conservative" GOP of course!

Holy Shit! That makes the stimulus look like chump change.

Thanks for the info.
