“Hey, Bill, you’re on in five.”

Another Tuesday and the surplus of stupidity is…let me put it this way; if stupidity was money, the country would have enough cash to let everyone retire at 50 and give them the keys to a new Cadillac along with their first Social Security check.

This week’s moron is Fox New’s condescending half-wit and habitual liar, Bill O’Reilly. Last week he said, “If the Democrats are elected, the nation will be bankrupt in two years.”

As we all know, the empty-headed bully boy is notorious for making up facts. With that in mind, I found a bunch of facts about the economy and the swell job Bush, and frankly, the Republican Party has done managing our money. Each fact has a site you can go to see for yourself. Granted, they’re websites so their accuracy is questionable (welcome to the postmodern condition), but at least I’m trying to be factual - something bonehead Bill never does.

(My comments are in red…like the ink.)

(By the time you read this it’ll be several hundred million – maybe a billion – higher. That’s about $100,000 per married couple, half that if you’re single and living the high life.)

According to the Treasury Department, from 1776-2000, the first 224 years of U.S. history, 42 U.S. presidents borrowed a combined $1.01 trillion from foreign governments and financial institutions, but in the past four years alone, the Bush administration borrowed $1.05 trillion.

In the past 60 years when Republicans were in control of the presidency and both Houses of Congress, government spending was never reduced. The last time a Republican Congress reduced the national debt was in 1947, under Truman’s leadership.

The only time we have seen national debt reduction in the past 60 years was when Democrats were totally in charge of our government or when one party was in the White House and another ran Congress.

So there you have just a bit of it, and coupled with an economy about to reach terminal velocity in the wrong direction, you have to wonder how morons like O’Reilly think…oh, right - MORONS!
