In the four years Mr. Bush has been President, National Debt has gone from 5 Trillion Dollars, to almost 7.5 Trillion Dollars. A 50% increase. Under Bush Jr. the debt is now increasing at the rate of 500 billion dollars a year! (http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opd.htm)
Someone is going to have to pay for that someday, if not our children, then our children's children. Every American born into the world today is born with a 25,000 dollar debt. Again, every American citizen born into this world already inherits a 25,000 dollar debt from fiscal irresponsibility.

Interest payments alone on the National Debt now account for some 40% of the total Budget. 40% of our tax dollars go to paying interest for fiscal stupidity.

Over the last 57 years Republican Presidents have out borrowed Democratic Presidents by more than a two to one ratio. That is, for every dollar a Democratic President has raised the national debt in the past 57 years Republican Presidents have raised the debt by $2.47.

Comparing the borrowing habits of the two parties since 1981, when the Conservative movement really took hold, it is extremely obvious that the big spenders in Washington are Republican Presidents. Looking at the only Democratic President since 1981, Clinton, who raised the national debt an average of 4.3% per year; the Republican Presidents (Reagan, Bush, and Bush) raised the debt an average of 10.8% per year. That is, for every dollar a Democratic President has raised the national debt in the past 23 years Republican Presidents have raised the debt by $2.52. Any way you look at it Conservative Republican Presidents can not control government spending, yet as the graph above clearly shows, Clinton did.

From Roosevelt to Carter, National Debt remained at a steady 1 trillion. However, during the eight years Reagen was in office, it TRIPLED to 3 trillion. During the four years Bush Sr. was in office it rose 67% to 5 trillion. And now Bush Jr. has increased it again to 7.5 Trillion dollars.

Bill Clinton balanced the budget, he even had a surplus in his final years. As a Democrat John Kerry will do the same. We cannot allow the National Debt to continue growing at the pace it has under Republican Presidents.
Please. This is only one of many reasons why come Tuesday, Vote John Kerry for President.
