It could get much worse. If we were run by a lunatic, we could be anticipating increasing the national debt to
FIVE TRILLION
over the next 5 years. Oh, wait, we are. Hmmm.... why is it the "business party" always spends more money less responsibly.

Of course, we'd be a bit better off if they read the first 3 pages of Bastiat's "Broken Window" and realized that we are NOT better off having the government employ 1 in every 10 folks just to march around with a gun.

But, I get your point.
And, Rokenn's too. It is a tad bit unfair to blame it all on Gray Davis. Howsabout blaming deregulation?? Weren't we better off with Ma Bell and other government-regulated heavily-entrenched utility monopolies??
