The national debt is being projected at $53 trillion. And what do we have to show for that debt? A democratic, peaceful Middle East? New infrastructure? A well articulated energy policy that has set us on the road to energy independence? A cleaner environment? Confidence that we are secure against another 9/11 type attack? Confidence that our food, water and medicines are safe? A prosperous economy? Certainty that our civil liberties are being zealously guarded by a DOJ that operatives above partisan politics? And, who is going to pay for this debt? Being possibly the most unethical generation ever, I suspect we will kick the can down the road to our children and grandchildren. The Hammer, along with Mr. Bush, made his contribution to the current state of affairs.
