Unemployment inaccurate?

Uhm - how much has the deficit gone up during the Obama Reign? I think it went up $8 trillion to $19 trillion. How dare YOU tell ME to STFU.

What is sad is that doesn't even surprise me that the economy hasn't improved more with the trillions and trillions of dollars in spending. Obama has borrowed $28,000 per citizen, and 83,000 per taxpayer.

People who are too dim to understand the difference between the deficit and the national debt probably shouldn't comment on such things.

People who are too dim to realize the national debt has nearly doubled under an Administration shouldn't tell anyone to STFU!

Obama has borrowed a trillion dollars a year. $500 billion is spent each year on workers who dig holes, and the other $500 billion is spent on workers who fill these holes. Obama and friends call this "job creation".

What they don't understand is that what's important is "wealth creation", and Obama and friends only consume wealth.
Presuming one is graph literate, one can see what happened to Federal Spending when Obama put the brakes on Bush's blank check wars and tax cuts.

And Boilerman had to be dragged kicking and screaming through all of it.



$8 trillion. $83,000 per taxpayer. Enough said.

And see that monster deficit in 2009. The president who signed the federal budget* for that year: George W. Bush.


*Of course anyone blaming the federal budget for the huge deficit that year is a nitwit. The driver of the deficit for that and the next few was obviously the Great Recession of 2007.
The man who managed the 2009 budget - obama. Budget deficits are projected to go back over $1T within a few years, due to obama programs. Notice how all of obama's deficts are well above the historical averages.

This has been covered before, but forky and pj keep trotting out the same stuff.
US Debt Clock indicates:

US National Debt: $19,010,186,773,116, as poor old DonDiego types.

US Debt-per-Citizen: $58,860
US Debt-per-Taxpayer: $158,902

All are rising steadily.

**EDITED TO ADD**
(DonDiego posted the above to capture the National Debt figure as he typed it; it moves very fast !

For the record the National Debt upon The Obama's assumption of the Presidency was $10,626,877,048,913.
