Senate permits national debt to grow to $9 trillion

The Senate voted Thursday to allow the national debt to swell to nearly $9 trillion, preventing a first-ever default on U.S. Treasury notes. The bill passed by a 52-48 vote. The increase to $9 trillion represents about $30,000 for every man, woman and child in the United States. The bill now goes to President Bush for his signature.

And George Walker Bush claims to be a “conservative?” on what planet does a conservative need 9 trillion dollars to run the government? You're asking, How much is a Trillon? "If you spent a million dollars a day for a million days (2,739 years), you'd hit $1 trillion”.

I suggest meditating on this panda to relive the stress .
