You're only partially correct... The deficit more than doubled under Bush due to:
1. Bush's 2001 unfunded tax cut (1.8 trillion)
2. Bush's 2003 unfunded tax cut (700 billion)
3. The Iraq War, also unfunded and off-budget (800 billion and counting)
4. Medicare Part D, unfunded (600 billion)
So big tax cuts primarily for the wealthiest in our society, combined witht the largest unfinded expansion of entitlements in 4 decades, combined with 2 unfunded wars... and there you are. Huge spending and a global war on terror with no sacrifice back home except "go shopping"!
That's funny. I realize that thousands of Americans make their living disposing of waste material everyday, and millions of Americans benefit from the fine work they do, but to become a lobbyist for the sewage industry has to be a ding on the ol' resume. No joke about the pay.
God bless you, Mr. Moyers
"If we assume that mankind has the right to exist, then we must find an alternative to war and destruction. In our day of space vehicles and guided ballistic missiles, the choice is either nonviolence or nonexistence."
Martin Luther King
That's what I love about this guy! American history is littered with "Christian" religious leaders. Try as you might, you can't escape them. The thing that sets the right, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. apart from most of these guys is the fact that he wasn't a hypocrite. He never tried to twist the words of Jesus of Nazareth into anything other than what they were - a call to love one another and for kindness and gentleness. The Trappist monk Thomas Merton is another celebrated American Christian who took the gospel seriously. So was Dorothy Day, the founder of the Catholic Worker. Give me a week and I might be able to name one or two others, but at the moment none come to mind. Both Merton and King died in 1968. Dorothy Day left this veil of tears in 1980. They're gone and they're not coming back.
There are a lot of people today doing what Dr. King did - in reverse. They are the Anti-Kings - or as I like to call them - the Martin Loony Kings. In his time on earth, King sought to appeal to the nation's conscience - to all that was good and (unfortunately at times) hidden in the American character. Today there are national spokespersons galore who would be happy to undo all the good work he did. Their stated purpose is to appeal to the darker demons of our nature. It's working. The number of people out there who seriously believe that our African American President is a "foreign born, Socialist Muslim" is growing by the day. The gullibility of so many Americans truly astounds. Would you like a little cyanide with your a cup of tea, ma'am?

I would like to say that following up with the act would be the answer however you only defer interst or redce interest on entire bal while in active duty and still required to make at least a mdu paymnt on the credit card for purchases that were made before active duty. I also believe that if you are eligible for any adjustmnts because of the delay if entitled to any fee adjustments -which is unlikely, the credit bureau is not required to be adjusted as there was no docs to support active duty during this period. Now if the credits or adjustmnts were enough to bring the account current it would adjust reporting moving fowrd based on becoming current with the credits being applied to the acct but previous effects to the credit bureau have already been made and no considerations are made for adjustments unless it was a bank error and by that i mean it would have to be documented that previous correspondence was received for military leave b4 the actual occurence and the company oversighted adjustmnts to your acct in error.
