There has been alot of talk about the US National Debt. The reuplican party, recently closed the government in the name of controlling the national spending. During the Federal Government Closure, the National Debt reached 17 trillion USD, and offically supursed the GDP. Pres Barack Obama has recieved much of the blame and probably it is true. A famous, New York US Senator once said "Everybody is entitled to thier own opinion but not thier own..facts"
When it comes to national Debt, you can mkeasure it by % Increse, or real money increase. The best way, would be to look at change in proportion to GDP. Here is the debt records since President Calvin Coolidge to barack Obama 2013.
