How do the Obama deficits compare with past presidents? And how did the national debt get so big anyway. This video tries to answer those questions by looking at the debt as a road trip and seeing how fast different administrations have been traveling.

Oh … I am so confident in these people ruin— er running our country. Aren’t you? Our Vice President Is In Debt? The article below was written and posted in the May 2, 2009 edition of the NYDaily News … and originally run in the April 2009 edition of American Thinker. NYDaily News: Obama’s troubling mantra: In debt, we trust By Richard Henry Lee It is no surprise that President Obama supports unprecedented spending and borrowing in the federal budget since he has never suffered any consequences from the excessive spending and borrowing in his private life.

Finally, in 2004, they took out another line of credit for $100,000 on top of the mortgage. Tax returns for 2004 reveal $14,395 in mortgage deductions. If we assume an effective interest rate of 6%, then they owed about $240,000 on a home they purchased for about $159,250. This means they spent perhaps
