You left out an important one:
US Debt 2009: $10B
US Debt today: $14.4B
I miss Bush deficits.
when Clinton left office we had a surplus and we were on our way to paying off the debt within 10 years.
and no thats not the most important number and its silly to use that to say its Obama's fault when republicans ran congress for 12 straight years and had 6 years of total control of every branch of govt from 2002-2008
