Nice graphic that shows the growth of the National Debt over time AND whether a Republican or Democrat was President AND the majority party in the House and Senate at the time. This was a group effort to get us into this situation. Seems like they could make a group effort to get us out of it. Just sayin'...

while this is has been a bipartisan effort, that much is clear, it is also obvious that what Dubya did in 8 years, Obama has done in 3. Also to note, the biggest jumps in the debt ceiling, in recent years, have been under a democratic house. i suppose this does reflect the democrat ideology of spending lots on social programs, but at the same time look at this mess!!! anyways...just a simple reading :)
