If the Democrats can make the budget deficit a number that people can understand; how much it is costing them personally, it would be easier to channel the outrage to those responsible.
It is about time that we start thinking of the debt and the costs of the war in Iraq in terms of what does each American contribute. A good summary of the deficit is in the Nation.
How much will it cost you?
This is truly an outrage and hopefully the Democrats will personalize this looting of the American treasury so every American can see what Bush and his cronies are doing to their personal finances.
