The number above is a recent snapshot of ever-increasing national debt added by Barack Obama. Having served less than one term, our current president holds the title of first American president to lead the federal government’s national debt into an increase of more than $5 trillion dollars. Every other president in American history has done less damage with two full terms.
“At the close of business on Jan. 20, 2009, the day Obama was inaugurated, the federal government’s debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08, according to the U.S. Treasury. By the close of business on April 16, 2012—as many Americans were working to finalize their 2011 tax returns to meet an April 17 filing deadline—the debt had reached $15,654,638,525,397.64."
