Obama -- fastest growing debt ever

[Godwynn]

This thread is a stellar example of exactly what is wrong with the United States.

We get the government we deserve.

I agree, this thread really has no point to it. It is so easy to criticize if you are not in the position. I wouldn't think trying to lead a financially troubled country would be easy at all. We should only hope that whoever we have as a leader will do their best.. for the sake of my children's future and yours.

First, I am just a kid who has no idea about politics or the government. but I hear al this bashing about Obama and I'm wondering how you think he is/ was going to "fix" everything? Since when did we start truning to the government to fix our problems? We, me and you, are what makes this economy. Not the government. The reason the dollar is going down in value and the national debt is so high is because me and you are buying/ borrowing money that we don't have. Several, several posts on this website are mentioning that they have all these loans and very little income and are wondering what to do.. Solution? Handle money Gods ways. Save, invest, blow, and GIVE. People do not have money to do these thing if it's all going out the door due to loans.

Nope. Not even close. President Obama is not in debt. His tax forms are available for all to see.

You lose however much you bet. Obama was supposed to be so different from all the other presidents (that hope and change thingie), and he turns out he is one of the most incompetent presidents ever.

Nope! Not even close to true. You need to read some history; maybe review the various Presidents. I know making such stupid statements kind of makes you feel better about yourself but Really - get a grip. Read something instead of being a ditto-head.

The larger the debt grows, the smaller the actual percentages.

E.g. If a 100-pound person gains 10 pounds, it's a much bigger percentage of the overall weight than if a 200-pound person gains 10 pounds.

Duh! The thread says fastest growing debt ever so if a 100 pound person gains 10 pounds and a 200 pound person gains 19 pounds the 100 pound person is gaining fastest.

Rate implies time.

If the 100 lb person gained 10 pounds in 3 months and the 200 pound person gained 19 pounds in 2 months then the 200 pound person is gaining weight at a faster rate than the other.

Percentage of weight gain means something else.
