Since then it has increased by 2 trillion dollars. The average debt is

Would like to see some references to that, Max.


google "national debt" chart

On top of the list was:

http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/
http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/faq.html

There are two charts on the FAQ page - one shows actual
values, the second is adjusted for inflation. It's the second chart that
shows it was dropping, probably because Clinton balanced the budget.

Frankly I don't like the "Raise the debt and lower the taxes so I look
good for now, and let the next President worry about the debt" that I find
irresponsible.


How many people are now dead because of it?

Thanks,
Rich
