The Senate finally got around to bumping up the deficit ceiling to $9 trillion. Bush still needs to sign it, but US government was so close to defaulting on debt.

Senate Votes to Raise Debt Limit

Bush has been the biggest spender in US history. I think I read somewhere he spent more than the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th top spending presidents combined!!
