221 BILLION dollars MORE in debt in February ALONE.
That's $7,892,857,142 a day.
$328,869,047 an hour.
$5,481,150 a minute.
$91,352 every freakin' second!
The shortfall was up from the previous record $193.9 billion shortfall in February last year.1.56 trillion??? Do you have any idea just how enormous this number is?
It's the 17th straight month that the U.S. government has posted deficits. The last time the government posted a monthly surplus was in September 2008, when the government reduced the deficit by $45.7 billion.
The cumulative deficit for fiscal 2010, which started in October, reached $651.6 billion, up from $589.8 billion in the same period the year before. The Obama administration is forecasting that the deficit will hit $1.56 trillion this year.
That's $5,081 dollars for each and every person in this country, man, woman, child, and infant.
This is what you get America for electing a childish boy who knows nothing of governing into the highest office in the land. But then again, he was such a great speaker, wasn't he?
