Irony on the rocks with a twist...

Fiscal Irresponsibility-By the Numbers

$236 Billion: Budget surplus left by Clinton administration

$8 Trillion: Current National debt after 5 years of the Bush administration

$350 Billion: Current amount earmarked for the war in Iraq with no end in sight

$10 Billion: Current total value of no-bid contracts Haliburton has received in Iraq and
the Gulf States after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita

$9.4 Billion: Amount Bush administration promised but didn’t spend on the No Child Left Behind Act (schools are still required to comply with the act despite it being under funded)

0: Number of mistakes the Bush administration has owned up to in 5 years of deceit, lack of leadership, and incompetence
