Today's update on the Fed's Printing Press Operations

Just when you thought the Fed could not blow more money on attempted market manipulation comes word that we are now on the hook for up to 450 billion more. With this latest round of fiscal malfeasance, the Fed and Treasury have add over a trillion and a half dollars in debt just this year. In other words, the debt level added this year is more than a quarter of what the total national debt was in 1993. Hurray for the party of small government.

Here's a video where Bush claims his 2003 budget will cut the deficit in half in five years. This pretty much sums up the legacy of Bush on economic matters, speak a big game and fail to follow through.
