The Obama Presidency By The Numbers

With a hat tip to Rational Nation USA:


Fact check (dated October 5, 2011):
The Obama administration passed another fiscal milestone this week, according to new data released by the Treasury Department. As of the close of business on Oct. 3, the total national debt was $14,837,099,271,196.71—up about $44.8 billion from Sept. 30.

...[I]n the less-than-three-years Obama has been in office, the federal debt has increased by $4.212 trillion--more than the total national debt of about $4.1672 trillion accumulated by all 41 U.S. presidents from George Washington through George H.W. Bush combined.

[...]

That would equal nearly $53,000 for each American household or more than $66,00 for each full-time private-sector worker....
What is the road out of this mess?
