So another year has ended and the year end national debt is in is out of control. We though we would show you just how out of control. The year ended with the deficit at 12,134,970,556,795.04, crazy because when the decade started it was an out of control 5,776,091,314,225.33. So over the last ten years our government has raised the number by 6,358,879,242,569.67, anything wrong with that number other than it is larger then we already had in the history of the nation. The deficit has gone up 191% in the first decade of the 21 century. This out of control spending and debt run up is never going to change with the climate in Washington. This year between bailouts, the stimulus, healthcare, and raising the debt ceiling there is a chart below of the deficit and where it was at the end of each year. It does imperative the America do something about this as Washington does not seem to care. The new administration spoke of Hope and Change but it looks like same old business from where we are sitting.
