That's it? Just $292 billion?? And here I thought we were in real trouble. /s

It has been said to be more than all other presidents combined. (Not adjusted for inflation, I'm sure.)

This is why I don't even check the front page anymore. I rely on my friends on Digg to find new articles. I'm just going to take a wild guess. After so many people bury an article it gets pulled off the front page. I could be wrong though. Or maybe there is another almost identical article.

Someone should create a website or maybe even a firefox add on that tracks Digg articles that are buried or pulled off the front page in record time. Probably not possible but that would be pretty cool. As it stands.. I read buried comments all the time because at least 50% of them come from people like myself who get mass buried by the Liberal Bury Squads. As for buried articles, I never notice them because I don't check the front page.

Hey its the clever Liberal who talks trash and calls everyone stupid. Someone should show you not only a picture, but words.. maybe a book, something you can read so you can back up your flapping jaw with facts.
