Another record broken

Gasoline prices hit an all-time high yesterday. And they're still climbing.

The Bush administration continues to rewrite the record books for dismal economic statistics. They're like Herbert Hoover on andro.

For those keeping score at home:

1. Highest all-time gasoline prices.

2. Highest all-time federal deficit (in dollars).

3. Highest all-time national debt.

4. Highest all-time trade deficit.

5. Highest all-time level of consumer debt.

6. Highest all-time number of personal bankruptcies.

7. Highest all-time number of defaults on mortgages.

8. Highest all-time number of jobs lost during a single term.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some. Please let me know if you can think of any I'm missing.

(Note: Highest all-time number of civilians killed on American soil is, of course, another record the Bush administration holds. But it's not an economic record.)
