Obama on Pace to Borrow $6.2 Trillion in One Term—More Than All Presidents from George Washington Through Bill Clinton Combined

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/obama-pace-borrow-62t-one-term-more-all-presidents-washington-through-clinton-combined

The national debt was $10.6 trillion ($10,626,877,048,913.08) on Jan. 20, 2009, the day Obama was inaugurated. As of the close of business on Jan. 11, 2012, it was $15.2 trillion ($15,236,307,075,631.58.) In Obama’s first 1,087 days in office, the debt increased $4.6 trillion ($4,609,430,026,718.50)—or an increase of $4.24 billion ($4,240,506,004.34) per day.

At that daily rate, the debt would increase a total of $6.2 trillion ($6,195,379,272,340.74) over the entire 1,461 days of Obama’s four year term.

US Debt Clock in real time
[URL="http://www.usdebtclock.org/"]http://www.usdebtclock.org/[/URL]

$ 16,000,300,478,187 owed (That’s Trillion)

U.S. Population: 314,303,065

Debt per citizen: 50,908.00

Debt per taxpayer: $140,012

Since 47% of the nation is on some kind of social service it looks like the working stiff gets to pay the bill.

Thank goodness those across the board cuts Obama pushed for are coming soon!
 
The government is now spending more than the taxpayer's are paying in. We all know where this road leads.


If Obama is so great then why doesn't he cut government spending and stop ruining this nation???



--- "Deficit" vs. "Debt"---


“Suppose you spend more money this month than your income. This situation is called a "budget deficit". So you borrow (i.e.; use your credit card). The amount you borrowed (and now owe) is called your debt. You have to pay interest on your debt. If next month you spend more than your income, another deficit, you must borrow some more, and you'll still have to pay the interest on your debt (now larger). If you have a deficit every month, you keep borrowing and your debt grows. Soon the interest payment on your loan is bigger than any other item in your budget. Eventually, all you can do is pay the interest payment, and you don't have any money left over for anything else. This situation is known as bankruptcy.”
