o'debt and debtor - o'unpatriotic: $16,000,000,000,000 What Does it Mean for Americans?

What Does Our Nation's $16,000,000,000,000 Debt Mean for Americans?
     This week, the U.S. national debt passed $16 trillion.  On President Barack Obama's watch, the debt has increased by 50 percent, as campaign promise after campaign promise has drowned in a sea of federal spending.
     When he was running for President, Obama condemned George W. Bush for adding $4 trillion to the national debt over eight years, calling it "irresponsible" and "unpatriotic."  Now - in less than four years - Obama's Administration has already added almost $6 trillion to the debt.  That means he is on track to triple Bush's debt increase over eight years.
