On the recordSeptember 4, 2003
it has been 846 days since President Bush and the Republican Party embarked on their economic plan for our country. Do the Members realize that during that time the national debt has increased by $1,152,231,363,445 and some few odd cents and according to the Web site for the Bureau of the Public Debt at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, at 4:30 p.m. yesterday, eastern daylight time, the Nation's debt was $6,792,556,749,803 and some few odd cents? Now, you study that for a moment. Furthermore, in fiscal year 2003, interest on our national debt, a debt tax, is $288,803,184,023 and some few odd cents through July 31 of this year.
