Well, lets see. The republicans have managed to double the national debt so far. The entitlement programs will bankrupt the nation in the next 20 years. Spending has increased by one third goverment has grown by a quarter and all this while revenue has dropped by nearly one third. It isn't what the republicans have given us it is what they have given the next two generations. Each and every one in the U.S now owes neartly $80 grand as their share of the current debt, but wait there is more. Every ones share goes to $240 grand when you count in entitlement programs like Mediacare, Medicade and Social Security. So ask again what G. Dumbya and the Republicans have given us. The ship is sinking and G.W. is at the helm
