What the chart fails to show is WHY the National debt is so high right now. It is not the fault of Obama, but rather the two unessesary wars started by the Bush administration, and the out sourceing of American jobs to the Chinese. It is easy to point fingers when wearing blinders. In order to help reduce this, who ever gets in office needs to bring work back to the U.S. They need to put a major tarrif on ANY American company that is manufactoring goods outside of the U.S., and importing the products here to save a dollar. Tax the **** out of American companies that are using Chinese labor and criplling our own economy instead of paying Americans a fair wage to make stuff here. At one time we had a great economy and you could find almost everything was made here, now good luck finding anything with a Made In The U.S. label on it.
