Clinton, version 2.0: “it’s not just the economy, stupid, it’s also the debt.”

From an article written by David Rogers from Politico

This will make four consecutive years that Washington faces a $1 trillion-plus deficit. And this sum of tax dollars is actually a sub-deficit of our total deficit of $15.2 trillion, which is in the process of growing to an additional overall $16.4 trillion.

Our debt at the end of 2011 surpassed GDP for the first time in America history. No household lives like this so how is it that our federal government does? It makes no sense and it will only last so long.

Nearly half of this country is convinced that Barack Obama has made progress but what I don’t understand is how that percentage of people consider his actions to be progress when everything he has done has been at the expense of inflating our national debt to a point that it will pop like a balloon in the very near future.

If you or I had a credit card with an endless spending limit and if we had no sense of obligation to pay the debts we stacked up then we could also do some convincing things to make us equally as impressive to those who so passionately support Barack Obama and his failed direction. Our current president has no desire to quell our national debt and every desire to increase it. Yet nearly half of this country does not recognize the destructive destination right in front of their faces. It’s a simple, straight highway and the exit form America as we know it is just on the horizon.

491.8 miles to go.

Here is what happened one year ago on Day155.
