Negligible unemployment, roaring economy, lower taxes, no terrorist
attacks since 9/11, and so on.

All in all, I'd have to say America is in better shape.

Sure. If I ran my credit cards up to the limit, bought plasma TVs, new cars,
luxury cruises, etc, life would be good.

But who is going to pay the bills?

That's what this government has done. Your grandkids will pay for the "good
times".
