Wouldn't be a boot to the head to wake up tomorrow and find an announcement that THERE IS A NEW PARTY CALLED the PEOPLE'S PARTY? To most Americans this would not be shattering news since both the Republicans and Democrats have done their part in declaring they are the ones mandated with the popular attributes to the most brains in the Universe. And MOST AMERICANS find this to be the most laughable consideration.

A new PARTY that would stand forthright with the TRUTH and require all media to print the TRUTH and all LEGISLATION TO REPRESENT THE TRUTH would attract the concerns of the concerned voters who believe now that both present parties are full expression of "slight of hand" politica. They pretty much do their thing according to when and how and how much of a thing they consider.

The PEOPLE'S PARTY may be a breath of real fresh air.

%u201CBush and the GOP's out of control borrowing will eventually come home to roost in the form of higher interest rates for everyone. When the federal government competes with individuals and business for money, the cost of borrowing goes up and the economy slows down in every sector.%u201D

micma,

There%u2019s a far worse consequence to higher interest rates than just a slowing economy. The interest on the national debt also increases and when the interest rates rise, the annual interest payment will rise also.

The $406 billion spent on interest on the national debt in 2006 was more than the COMBINED cost for Dept of education, Dept of transportation, Veterans affairs, Dept of justice and judicial branch, core of engineers, environmental protection agency, NASA, and all international assistance programs (repeat: COMBINED).

If the interest rate (or the national debt) doubles, the amount of interest paid EVERY year will be at approximately $1 TRILLION, and that would be nearly two-thirds the amount of the present federal budget, including defense and health and human services.

If you want to put a chokehold on Bush apologists just ask them; "when do the republicans plan to start paying down the national debt?

When are we Americans going to finally realize that Bush and Company are using this war and our money to justify their grab for OIL! This clown needs to be impeached.

War is the biggest expense a country has. This illegal invasion and continuing support of Iraq is KILLING US.

Bush will office with the federal budget a complete disaster and the succeeding president will have to straighten it out. Just like he or she will have to straighten out everything else. Bush cannot touch anything without making a mess of it.

Worse president in US history.

I have made a deal with my rightwing friends and relatives.
If they stop telling lies about Democrats, I'll stop telling the truth about republicans.

Bush is a moron, why isn't that plain as day to all. He's a giant liar both flat out and by omission, is he stupid (dohh) or just believes (knows) the public is, either way, he can't get out of office soon enough.
