Just to give you a bit of perspective...

1 million seconds = 12 days

1 billion seconds = 32 years

1 trillion seconds = 32,000 years

No offence Dan-O or 3366, but why didn't either of you two ever bitch about the national debt during the former president?

Never seen you whine about how Reagan got it all started with the budget deficits either? ???

And I haven't seen either of you give Clinton credit for running a budget surplus.


What's up with that?

they were okay with exxon getting bilions of $ in tax cuts and subsidies.

But they are very pissed that obama acted to keep their 401ks from turning into worthless paper.

partisan politics ;(

Oh yes I did.  Bush was a disaster on spending.  CFR, Prescription drug, amnesty for illegal aliens, NCLB, etc, he was fiscal nightmare.
