add to that the theft of TWO automakers, the loans without guarantees made to a number of "green energy" companies that all went bankrupt, the loans of federal monies to fisker, who not only lied about the jobs they would create in the US, but then file for protection against their creditors, and how about all the money that was sent to european banks that has yet to be repaid, or the money that is being borrowed from the federal reserve? or the fact that obama has 45 czars that we are paying for who do the same things that his cabinet members do, but they didnt have to go through congressional approval.

More people on food stamps, more cheap foreign labor grabbing up the jobs, more Obamaphones, more people without health insurance, more outsourcing of jobs to foreign countries, more people living on unemployment handouts and then getting on disability. Fewer taxpayers to carry the whole weight of this bloated government.

One can't simply believe anyone's numbers on these blogs. They are made by uninformed folks that are only repeating what they hear over a beer from friends at the corner bar, or find exaggerated comments on sites such as the Tea Party's blog, or politicians that have a vested interest in bolstering their own agenda..........One can find the actual facts if research is done, I would like to believe that is happening too.

The debt only continues to rise period.

What is important is the Federal deficit has been decreasing dramatically. The deficit will only be 3% of GDP (projected) this year.

I think that Obama needs to concentrate on cleaning up messes in his own house! which he has made many messes.

He has made enough of his own messes, that he needs to let Bush go. He has done nothing to curb the debt at all.
