Have you been paying attention?

I'm not sure if anyone noticed...

but this week the National Debt clock hit 11 Trillion.

11 Trillion.

Obama wants to cut it in half before his first term in office is up... Lets hope for the future of this country that it happens.

The national debt clock is located to the right on the first page of my blog... check it out. Look at how fast it grows!

Also... here's a graphic going back to right before Regan. Look at how high it gets when the first Bush is in office! Then Clinton brings it down to 18 Billion, it's lowest in decades, and then the next Bush... just check it out.

Today...

America shaves its bush...

It's over.
