Percent doesn't do it justice when you are talking trillions. And its not as if that's where it is going to stay: it is going way up from there.
How is it that people who scoff at some who cannot manage their credit card debt support their country as an exemplary world power that can do no better. Last time I checked with my credit card, I get charged for all the good things I do and I have to pay. I tried to pass it onto my neighbor, but they said no. Even if I'm saving Iraq, they still say "pony up!"
