Doesn't this mean that we are about to borrow almost half a trillion this year? This should be on top of whatever we alerady owe. Right?

$485 Billion divided by a population of 270 million, times 5 (the size of my family) indicates that my family share of this year's account deficit is near $9000.

Very, very impressive.

$485 Billion seems to be a low estimate to me.
Dubya just signed a bill allowing a record $984 billion increase in Debt last month, and already U.S. May Hit New Debt Ceiling in 2004.

I've never dreamed that a Republican could be so fiscally irresponsible,
It's as if he is intentionally plundering the U.S. Treasury.
