8 Trillion

From an article in the San Francisco Chronicle: In October, for the first time, the national debt passed the $8 trillion mark.  The federal budget deficit is $319 billion.  Not only is this situation unsustainable, it also greatly increases the vulnerability of our economy: since taking office Bush has borrowed $1.05 trillion from foreign banks and governments.  Maybe we should roll back those tax cuts.
