|

| Quote: | If the federal government used the same standard accounting procedures employed by corporations, the real budget deficit for 2005 would have been more than 10 times what was officially reported.
The White House and Congress tallied the deficit for the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2005, at $318 billion.
But the audited version from the Treasury Department, which uses a different accounting method, put the deficit at $760 billion.

| And, the scary thing is that we owe MOST of it to who else but COMMUNIST CHINA!!!! To me, that is just the most deplorable thing about this huge deficit. What are we going to do when China gets ticked at us and calls all of those debts? WE ARE SUNK. |
