Sucks to be a federal employee

Sure they get more days off then the rest of us, but at least Shrub isn't molesting our pension funds . I hope his hand gets stuck in the cookie jar. Do you have any idea how high the ceiling is on the deficit? How much we owe?
The Congressional Budget Office said last week the deficit likely was $415 billion in fiscal year 2004, which ended Sept. 30. That exceeded last year's $374 billion shortfall, the previous record in dollar terms.


Great. Lets see we've got out of control debt, religious zealots in charge... What else? Now all we need is one good epidemic and we'll be one step closer to achieving Third World County status. Thanks Shrub!
