When Will Obama Outspend Bush’s Two Terms? Beware the Ides of March
By Jim Geraghty
Tags: Barack Obama, George W. Bush
Elaborating on some calculations by CBS News’s Mark Knoller . . .
On January 20, 2009, the total outstanding public debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08 ($10.62 trillion).
As of Tuesday, the debt is $14,649,289,670,347.85 ($14.64 trillion).
In 946 days, Obama has increased the national debt by $4,022,412,621,434.77 or $4.02 trillion.
That amounts to $4,252,021,798.56 per day ($4.25 billion).
When the debt increases another $877,587,378,565.23 ($877.58 billion), the debt accumulated under Obama’s presidency will equal the debt accumulated under Bush’s two terms.
Obviously, this can change, but barring some sudden shift in the federal government’s borrowing and spending habits, this milestone will be reached in 206 days from August 23, 2011. That would be March 15, 2012.
Beware the Ides of March.
If spending continues at the normal pace through Inauguration Day 2013, it would add an additional $1,326,630,801,150.72 ($1.32 trillion) to the debt total.
Obama will have, in one term, raised the national debt by $6.22 trillion, 22 percent more than George W. Bush did in two terms.

But don't worry guys, his "jobs plan" is only going to call for MORE stimulus. President Downgrade has this whole "stop spending" concept locked down!

I'm afraid at this point it's sp far gone as to be unsalvageable.

The Obama double standard continues. CBS reported this week that Obama has added $4 trillion to the national debt in just 2.5 years as Bush added $4.9 trillion in 8 years. In 2008, Obama called this “unpatriotic.” Wonder how he feels about this now?
