The numbers are in and the U.S. Treasury has closed out 2011 with an official $15.2 trillion in national debt. U.S. debt to GDP is now sitting at 100.3%. In simple terms, our boat is about an inch away from filling up completely with water regardless of how much we are throwing out over the side with our useless government-subsidized buckets. We need bigger buckets and a new captain.
Check this page out. The U.S. National Debt Clock has America projected at $23.9 trillion by 2015. Only three short years away. This is clearly unacceptable and enough water to sink any ship, so do we continue in Barack Obama’s direction or do we elect someone else who will stop spending incomprehensible sums of money that do not even exist?
