…arrived at the White House:

$660 billion.

Added during Carter’s four years: $337 billion.

Added during Ronald Reagan’s eight years: $1.6 trillion.

Added during George H. W. Bush’s four years: $1.6 trillion.

Added during Bill Clinton’s eight years: $1.5 trillion.

Added during George W. Bush’s seven years, nine months: $4.5 trillion.

Portion of the $9.5 trillion added to the national debt during the past 31 years and seven months that came during Republican presidencies: $7.7 trillion.

Percentage of that $7.7 trillion added during George W. Bush’s two terms: 58%.

Could somebody explain again what “fiscal conservative” means?

-DailyKos reposting-

I have come to give you life,
And to show you how to live it.
I have come to make things right,
To heal their ears and show you how to forgive them.

Because I would rather die,
I would rather die,
I would rather die,
Than to take your life.

How can I kill the ones I’m supposed to love?
My enemies are men like me.
I will protest the sword if it’s not wielded well,
My enemies are men like me.

Peace by way of war is like purity by way of fornication.
It’s like telling someone murder is wrong,
And then showing them by way of execution.

When justice is bought and sold just like weapons of war,
The ones who always pay are the poorest of the poor.

Derek Webb “My Enemies Are Men Like Me” from the album Mockingbird
