Well at some point, he’s likely to have a point.

Our national debt is now around 20 trillion, and has grown more during Obama’s terms, than during the entire rest of our national history.

The only thing that is keeping the dollar alive is that every other currency in the world is in the toilet.

That's just the money already borrowed and spent. It's not the whole story. It doesn't include legally mandated future expenditures on various income assistance programs (welfare), social security, medicare, and medicaid. That all supposedly adds up to $200 trillion.
