Something you accumulate whenever you don't sleep an adequate amount on a given night. In the ghetto they call it "slizzeep to da dizzebt".
If sleep debt was dollars, yo' mama would be a rich bitch.

Name of an AstroTurf entity created by Berman & Co.. Pretends to be a grass movement; asks for donations. Website basically explains that taxes on the rich are too high and can't be raised (statistics are wrong). Video ads claim that the health care reform bill will increase the deficit (in contradiction to the Congressional Budget Office estimate, that it will reduce the deficit).
"Defeat the Debt" is part of an anti-labor, anti-poor, anti-consumer, anti-U.S. front group that is wholly motivated by money and hatred of the working class.
So now, everywhere you go you see ads for "Defeat the Debt." What's that all about?
Oh, it's basically a bunch of rich folks trying to pull the same bullshit they've used since 1981, destroying education and infrastructure, leaving poor children to rot in homeless shelters, and terrorize workers so they'll tolerate any cruelty the managers want to inflict.

Something that was 5.6 trillion when Bush took over and now is 12.3 when Obama gets his turn. Was ok to add 6.7 trilion with Bush but now... what to do???
My share of the national debt is 12 trillion divided by 300 million... hummm.. about 40 grand...
