“I want to tell the Senator one story. I was in a shopping center over the weekend, and I saw a bumper sticker on a car. The bumper sticker said: ``Mr. Bush, we will be forever in your debt.'' Just then, the person whose car that was came along, and I said to them: What was it you were thinking about that the President has done when you say we are going to be forever in his debt? I thought it was for something he had done. The person said: Think about it. I meant exactly what it says. Mr. Bush, we are going to be forever in your debt. Here is the debt, which the Senator from North Dakota is pointing out. I think the person is right. We are going to be forever in this debt. This is what is being handed to this generation, the next generation, and the generation after that. As the Senator pointed out in the previous chart, they have doubled the debt over this very short time period.”
