Katrina costs will be borrowed, raise deficit

Oh good. I was getting worried that the deficit hadn't gotten big enough yet. But that's not even the best part:

President George W. Bush's advisers said on Friday billions of dollars needed to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast will be borrowed and will raise the deficit but Bush still wants to extend tax cuts.
emphasis mine

Look, a lot of us already know this guy is an idiot, but doing shit like this has got to convince some of the people he had fooled, doesn't it? Well, at least I can hope.

I don't think so. All those people who vote against their own best interests think that one day they will be wealthy enough to get the tax cuts and be hurt by the estate tax. They are, what I like to call, dumbasses

Yeah, you're right of course.
