Plus 9-11 and the upheaval that caused. And Katrina.



Much of the Katrina resource was wasted -- acres of unused trailers,

9-11 was awful, but not "double the national debt" awful.


There's nothing "awful" about the national debt being doubled. The national
debt is nowhere near its historical high (as a percentage of the GDP).
Besides, debt is, in the main, good. Even the Democrats are on board.


I disagree. Debt is not good in the abstract. Some background level of
debt is necessary to keep the bonds trading, but less is better. The
Democrats are the fiscally responsible party, and have been for some
time. Republicans try to apply a false stereotype to them, but I think
the populace is waking up to the truth (finally).
