$6 trillion in 2000.
$9.5 trillion in jan 2009.

now, $14 trillion... an increase of almost 50% in 2 years.
almost 250% in 10 years !!!

keeping sending that tax money. why? who knows. it’s not like they only spend the money they’ve got. they’re spending money you’re kids don’t have... all the while setting policies in place to force businesses to use foreign based manufacturing, thereby exporting the wealth of the nation, one walmart widget at a time.

grats! you’ve been had.

want fries with that?

This is the true legacy of the Pelosi/Reid congresses, January 2007-January 2011. By far the most vile Congress we’ve ever had the misfortune to be stuck with in American history.

Federal Debt: $14 Trillion
U.S. GDP: $14 Trillion
% of Debt to GDP: 100%

Boys and girls, that spells BIG trouble.

“The national debt clock website is running a little slow. “

It is kind of hard to keep up with government accounting.

Amazingly enough, the republicans are planning to cut "$100 billion" and the left is screaming that will be end of civilization.

We are no longer headed for the cliff, we just went off it. And the idiots in charge are completely oblivious.
