A billion here, a billion there...

It doesn't seem real, so why worry about it? Congress raised the debt ceiling by $800 billion in November of 2004 and we're $25 million away from it 15 months later.

So, we just borrowed almost one third of the annual US budget from my kids in less a year and a half.

Ah, conservatives. Maybe their campaign slogan for this year could be, "Vote for us. We may be corrupt, but we spend more than anyone in history."
