why because the media got a hold of it....we still got troops coming home who are screwed up in the head and wont have an easy time readapting to society. Our troops still arent being taken care of like they should and they wont be because the money isnt there, our priorities are so out of whack its scary.. and its a 9 trillion dollar debt. Bush is proud that we have cut the defecit but we are still borrowing and printing billions. its more fuzzy math.
