While the United States Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Afghanistan and the Philippines defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) de facto President George W. Bush (having received an unlawful advantage of 52 ineligible Electoral votes) signs senate resolution 2578, raising the national debt limit from 5,950,000,000,000 to 6,400,000,000,000 “dollars.”
NOTES:
- Among the Republican legislators voting to increase the debt limit were senator John Kyl, of the Federal enclave of Arizona; senator Mitch McConnell, of the commonwealth of kentucky; and CONgressman John Boehner, of the Federal enclave of Ohio.
- So much for conservative Republicans!
