0bama triples government debt, 2009-$7.9 trillion, 2010-$9.4 trillion, 2019-$14.2 trillion, entitlements

merrie says:

In 2009, Washington will spend $30,958 per household "the highest level in American history" and under President Obama’s budget, the figure will rise above $33,000 by 2019.

The public national debt" $5.8 trillion as of 2008" is projected to double by 2012 and nearly triple by 2019. Thus, America would accumulate more government debt under President Obama than under every President in American history from George Washington to George W. Bush combined.

To put that $1 trillion dollars into perspective,
have a look at what it looks like!
