The national debt, on the other hand is a cumulative burden, and the Bush administration and Republican Congresses have ballooned that national debt in 6+ years of political control in Washington. I'm sorry, you said the loyal Democratic opposition tooth-and-nail opposed the Rs profligate spending patterns, as the Ds took home the bacon too, to their constituents, who clamored for much more? Are you sure you are not the FLA Stern, the municipal finance specialist? Locally, BigD John "I am the master of the budget" Street prides himself on his budget surpluses in part producing this calendar year almost 500 blacks, predominately males, killing themselves through a life of drug dealing/violence; plus another unspoken about 500+ whites dying from drug ODs and addiction related disease; and everybody wanting to play to the local Latino communities in "East Philadelphia", seems to overlook their exclusive/massive control of Philadelphia drug dealing. Personally, I'd like to see Street have a neutral budget that includes more DAs, more police, and more prisons. For some the absence of the three could be blamed on the stinginess of the RFeds, while for others their absence is an example of BigD enlightenment. Locally, look at how the drug industry thrives as an non-federally taxed self-regulating business model. Great system, wrong product. When it comes to numbers, those MIT guys are hard to beat.
