Good chart. I've gotten charts from that site before too. It's telling. Clinton managed to get us to surpluses, then Bush got us to some pretty high deficits and now Obama is leading the charge even higher.

What's sad is that we were at about $2.5T in debt in 2000. Large, but we could have paid that back and grown our way out of it. By 2020, We're projected to be at $20T. And that doesn't include all the unfunded entitlements. No way we grow out of that.

We're screwed.
