But the really interesting stuff is the detail, and what leaps out again and again is how much of a hill the US has to climb. Exhibit a is the fact that under the Obama administration’s current fiscal plans, the national debt in the US (on a gross basis) will climb to above 100pc of GDP by 2015 – a far steeper increase than almost any other country.
Not only were the American Citizens yelling at the top of their lungs for this administration to stop its drunken spending and quit trying to bankrupt the nation. Now the IMF is also yelling at this administrations budget woes.
I admit UN has never done anything right in my books. For them to come out and call Obama an idiot for the budget he has proposed is step in the right direction.
And for those people in here that like to post charts and cartoons. I hope the following chart would be sufficient.
