An estimated $500 billion for next year and a ten year cumulative debt of $5.8 trillion (yes trillion). And this with a conservative estimate that growth will surge next year and continue for the rest of the decade (yea, right).

 

Gotta hand it to the bushies, they've reached terminal velocity much faster than anyone predicted.
