Sunday Scroll #73 excerpt

Since we're on Reagan ...
That irksome little dweeb Grover Norquist is trying to replace Alexander Hamilton's image on the $10 bill with Reagan's. Give me a fucking break! Hamilton was our first Treasury Secretary. Reagan had $1.412 TRILLION in deficits in his eight years in office. Imagine the interest accrued on that over the last 19 years. It's more than tripled. If Grover wants to put Reagan's mug on something, he should try the Debt Clock.
[And while you're at that debt clock link, check out that $2.3 TRILLION social security SURPLUS - And notice how it's going UP, unlike the stock market for those of you who wanted to privatize]
