Comment: How much of that debt is because of the unsustainable Bush tax cuts, unfunded Medicare Part D and the totally unfunded and illegal invasion of Iraq Mr. Wolf? Last I heard just the Iraq part was up to Three Trillion and counting. Add in what the wounded are costing in care at the VA and you have close to another Trillion. Add in  the $600 Billion going each and every year to the Pentagon and how much of that is blatant unaccounted for waste and pretty soon you're talking real money.
