U.S. debt is soaring

Here's change we can believe in. "The public national debt — $5.8 trillion as of 2008 — is projected to double by 2012 and nearly triple by 2019. Thus America would accumulate more government debt under President Obama than under every president in American history from George Washington to George W. Bush combined"(Brian Riedl, senior policy analyst for the Heritage Foundation).

No rational, clear-thinking American, conservative or liberal, cannot see the inevitable economic catastrophe if we continue with this unsustainable spending and borrowing.
