if any of you brain dead people out in would look at the simple to understand debt increase per year line. It’s for the simple minded you would see that every time GOP candidate get’s into office they increase debt. When DNC candidate it’s goes down, add the percentage per year and you will find which is better. When Obama took over it was on the way up 11 % before took office then 18% the first year trying to get hold of bush run away debt then when down like bill did when he was in office. So if you look at that you will see the truth, cutting taxes only adds to debt never decreases it. Ouch the truth hurts that’s why the truth never spoken by GOP candidates they would never be elected. Good thing there’s brain dead people out there.
Yet, Obama extended the Bush tax cuts. And if you look at debt increase during the Obama years you will also see an 8 year average of 8.83% increase in debt. Trump 3 years average is 3.86%. And President Trump in basically an independent.
You dumb asses, Obama took over when economy was crashing ( wasn’t his fault the mortgage /housing crisis happened ) and saved the country by saving the auto industry ….economy was on rebound when that 5th grader , err trump , took office.
So at the expense of the planet and global warming trump has rolled back Obama policies and wants credit for it. Tell your grandchildren you were all for it.
Sad for U of Tennessee ….i’d be embarrassed having a graduate who spoke and wrote like he does.
dumb shits all of you
Democrats like high taxes & high spending. Republicans like low taxes & low gov. spending. Neither one works! We need modestly higher taxes & a balanced budget amendment.
Awesome analysis and outstanding vocabulary…………go back into your toilet
Educate yourself “global warming” is not a thing in the way that you think it is…
Beautiful !!!!
Obama was with ACORN showing people how to protest and force banks to give loans to unqualified people. He did have a hand in it. If banks didn’t give out enough loans Clinton would send auditors in to create chaos Tryon them.
This is a stupid lie.
You calling anyone else a dumb ass is truly oxymoronic. You need to fact check what the total debt was spent on. The ACA alone was one of, if not the most expensive bill in U.S. history.
The argument DEM vs GOP is old and worn. Saying Obama didn’t do it and Bush did negates the entire system. Boiling down to 1 vs 1. The thinking is fundamentally flawed.
What did the Dems control vs GOP control is the only true merit in these types of arguments.
Lazy Americans.
Obama was a Community Organizer. He was the direct reason why the Banks wrapped home loans in securities and sold them. So you can consider Obama was part of the cause President Clinton caused With Freddie and Fannie Mac
You’re an idiot
JackT’s take on this issue is based on a fantasy land thought process. He forgets that the real world facts are the debt increased because of the mismanagement of the previous office having caused massive company failures that needed to be bailed out, a housing market crash and a vastly sinking economy. Don’t be mistaken, the economy and national debt suffers EVERYTIME the GOP is elected.
No his is based in reality while yours is based on proven lies. It wasn’t Bush who created the housing bubble, that was directly tied to Clinton and the DNC in 2005.
It’s the same thing now, Libs are blaming Trump for a down turn in the economy that they created by shutting down their states.
The good thing is people are realizing this and unknown to Liberals the Democrats were pummeled in state elections giving Republicans total control of 30 states.
Many of those states are battleground states and they are eliminating cheat by mail.
Said well brother, but I’m afraid they have no idea what you’re talking about because that don’t study like we do.
I know the facts behind your statements; they can’t find the source material to prove their statements
I don’t know who caused the housing crash, but I can tell you first hand that it started its downward trend in January of 2005. At that time I owned a number of properties listed for sale and had to lower the prices to sell them. It continued the downward spiral and the bottom dropped out in 2008.
Wrong
Yet, Obama was recovering from a massive recession. Trump inherited that recovery.
He did not inherit anything. None of Obama’s shovel ready jobs lasted. Majority of them went bankrupt.
I’m sure everyone would have loved increased taxes. You would probably be complaining about that too if that were the case.
In case you forgot their was a “minor”
economic meltdown of the banking and financial systems. People lost their jobs, GDP shrank, and tax revenue reversed drastically. $700 billion was spend so insurance and bank companies didn’t completely collapse for years or decades.
The end of Obama’s tenures, and beginning of Trump’s was one of the greatest Bull Runs, and economic recoveries in history. If that is the case, why did our debt continue to increase, when Trump said he was going to eliminate it? Not even close. Not even in the right direction.
He is not an independent though. He is Republican, and he toes the party line. And he used to be a well known Democrat in his youth. Just another thing he has flip flopped on.
Trump is and always has been a free spending leftist? And remember, democrats voted for the budget increases you are now whining about. And used the threat of a government shutdown to accomplish?
Every snowflake pleads not guilty after an avalanche. But avalanche is indeed what’s coming. Collectively, the very same people who we have elected to represent our best interests, throughout history are the very ones who are responsible (be they green or purple, left or right, brown or blue eyed). We have trusted these people in Congress and the White House to act in our best interest and they have collectively rammed our best interests up our arses!!! Actually, it is the House of Representatives who appropriate every single penny spent by the United States. Presidents and the Senate cannot spend a dime without it being appropriated by the House Appropriations Committee. If you look at which party controlled the House of Representatives during these Presidential Administrations, it would be more revealing as to which party actually appropriated the funds.
I’m a stupid commenter who knows nothing, just like the rest of you.
If you look at the list you will also note that during Obama’s terms he raised the debt 43.3% !!!
So he holds the dubious record. Btw that is the last column. Even with 500 billion a year goes to just servicing the debt in the form of bond payouts.
President Trump for 3 years 11.1%
FDR increase debt by 931.5% ….
That last column is a % of the debt we have now, so the most recent presidents will have much more of an effect due to inflation.
Obama ended at 19.5$ trillion in debt. We are now at $27 trillion. When the numbers for 2020 come out it’s going to be trash.
27 trillion was at the end of 2020. The biggest increase in dollars per president was under Obama.
Youbhave to remember that it is congress which is responsible forvtxaxinfmg and spending, snd therefore it id congress, specifically the House (since it is the only body constitutionally authorized to change tax laws) that is responsible for creating deficits [adding to the national debt] or surpluses [decreasing the national debt]. The demokkkrats controlled the House for trump’s last two years in office, and it is the demokkkrats who created the 6 trillion dollar addition to the public debt, not Trump.
Obama did not increase the DEBT a single dollar, folks. President’s don’t control the size of the DEBT, Congress does.
A new administration comes in, decides upon policies, tries to get them passed by Congress, and the NATIONAL DEBT’s prior balance, is on the ledger… as a liability.
If memory serves, the GOP had “majority control” of Congress in 6 of the 8 years of Obama’s two terms. So Obama did NOT have free rein to implement his policies, and therefore did NOT have his policies graded according to performance. (Cruz seems to think it was so). So, what did this GOP Congress do? Do you remember?! They shoved thru THEIR GOP “unpaid-for, non-offset” tax cuts for the rich. We also were paying for multi-trillion dollar GOP wars (that were initially placed ‘off-budget’ by GWBush as ‘emergency supplementals’ to fudge the official budget/debt numbers). Obama promptly put these numbers into the correct ledger, which added almost $2 trillion to the DEBT he inherited. By the way, did the GOP Congress do what Obama wanted, to begin to PAY DOWN THE DEBT?? No! The GOP Congress voted down every WH Budget Proposal for 8 years. They filibustered in the two years the DEMs had a slim majority (but not 60 votes in the Senate to prevent a filibuster). And how did Republicans get their way adding trillions to the DEBT under Obama? Default threats! Remember?! The GOP refused to increase the Debt Ceiling unless they got what they wanted: Tax cuts and pork.
Obama also inherited a Bush Recession, tens of millions out of work (and foreclosed homes) and now on the govt dole, the huge cost of paying for two Republican-birthed/punted wars, and a GOP Congress who promised to ‘vote NO’ on any/every Obama proposal in order to make him a one-term President.
In effect, Obama was hired by the America people twice, in landslide victories, as a FIREMAN to put out the many fires he inherited from the failed Republican policies.
At least Obama got the ACA done. And got a stimulus through. But the stimulus targeting the Middle Class was chopped off by a third, as the GOP refused to help pass it unless a third went to the filthy rich. (Then, after the Stimulus went through, the GOP had the audacity to criticize that the Stimulus wasn’t that effective for the Middle Class). By 2008, Obama had ended the Republican Recession, killed Bin Laden, righted the economy which was booming, as the stock market was skyrocketing, folks were working, and our allies were happy.
In comes Trump, who inherited the best domestic situation one could dream of, and promptly took credit for Obama’s hard work on Day 1. He then went on multiple vacations for a year. Rallies, vacations, visits overseas, golfing so much… it added up to 1/4th of Trump’s entire presidency. Further, Trump added $8 trillion to the NATIONAL DEBT in total with zero complaints from his Republican-majority Congress or from FOXNEWS. The ANNUAL DEFICIT exploded to over $4 trillion. Trump then destroyed the entire US economy into a GOP Recession in 2020, lied about the virus that killed 530,000 Americans in 10 months, and punted…. as a humiliated, twice-impeached, racist, and insurrectionist failure.
Biden, like President Obama, inherited total chaos from the Republicans with the largest NATIONAL DEBT in history… with tens of millions out of work, thousands of businesses failed, hospitals overrun with COVID patients, half the country polarized into politicizing mask wearing, racism and hate, a failed war that’s mandated by Trump to end in May 2021 without adequate force protection via Trump’s February 2020 “Doha Agreement” with the terrorist-Taliban, and every Republican promising to work against Biden to make him (and America) fail… to somehow then re-elect Trump in 4 years.
But CRUZ claims it’s all Biden’s fault!! All the Democrats’ fault. Sure, if you edit history and teach to the gullible how the new, “Cruz Arithmetic” works.
Well, YOU are greatly disliked. Bottom line is the tax bill left behind by each. Obama did an approximate doubling of the national debt while eliminating jobs etc. That’s what we have left with us after they’re gone.
Bob Jones Barack Obama created a NET of 9 million jobs while in office. He didn’t eliminate jobs he added them back after bush did his damnedest to crash us into a wall. Trump has done nothing. He has basically let the economy keep on trucking under Obama era policies minus ACA. The tax cuts will lead us to a debt storm that will be historic. By the time Trump leaves office the interest payments in our debt alone will be larger than our defense spending budget which currently stands at $750 billon.
Ha ha ha! That’s why so many more people were out of work and on Food stamps!
Stop drinking the Democrats koolaid! And see the truth!
Maybe people were out of jobs because the economy almost collapsed?
Obama came into office literally at the height of the ‘08 market collapse.
Food stamps mostly feed woman and children, but screw em right? Anyone without a job deserves to starve /s
You say as you drink the GOP kool-aid. Couldn’t be any more hypocritical.
You say “truth”. But you haven’t posted any “facts”
Facts don’t care about your feelings.
I work for jobs and family services, 90+% of my clients are women with full time jobs that can’t afford medical food rent on the low minimum wage…
Yep! The orange salty narcissistic man dissolved majority of the unemployment issues, by creating jobs. Reduced food stamp recipients and brought back manufacturing to this country while we were kicking on all cylinders then boom, the Covid or flu bug hit us. Sure would like to know how well off we would be without the media’s Covid????? Biggest alarming factor, realizing 90% of the medical industry including drugs or equipment was made in CHINA. That to me was more alarming than anything else.
Right on. Liberals can’t handle facts!
moron
Wow you added so much to the conversation.
Typical idiot. Can’t refute any facts. So you fling insults.
Politicians don’t ‘create jobs’ the best they can do is get out of the way of people doing actual work that people are actually willing to voluntarily pay for.
Under Trump we had the lowest unemployment rate in our history, especially in the minority groups.
You’re some stupid. Ovama had nothing to do with the job losses. Please get educated because you will sound like a real idiot trying to defend your case. The stock market crashed in Oct 2008 do to the mortgage/loan debacle while during the Bush era. Jobs were being lost when Obama was coming in. Good read avd do some research.
Yes sir! How about his shovel ready jobs??? Oh they went bankrupt! What a hoot.
Trump is on track to do the same. 19.5 trillion to $27 in four years is pretty much the same pace.
First of all, Can you tell me why we wanted our independence from Britian? Let me help you, it was because of HIGH TAXES!! Our debt to gdp is much lower than any other country within the top 5 largest economies in the world so its not a big issue. Also, payroll taxes only generate 1.2 trillion a year. Even a 25% tax increase would only generate an extra 300 billion. This would never put a dent in our 22 trillion dollar debt. This most be solved other ways than by raising taxes.
Get rid of the politicians.
Yeah, but when you have all these kikes running a magically independent private bank, your debt seems to continuously increase until your economy collapses.
Your an idiot! Besides being racist.
When Obama took office the debt was $1.017 Trillion. When he left office the debt was $19.573 Trillion. That’s an increase of 95.3%. which is an increase larger than all previous presidents combined.
FDR increased debt by 935% (from the previous term)
I mean it would be odd if that were not the case… with inflation, the cost of things goes up over time, including debt.
Trump is literally at the same pace. $19.5 to $27.5 trillion in 4 years.
Your figures are off. When Obama came into office the national debt was just over 10 trillion.
Igit, you can’t read, when GWB left office the debt was over 10 trillion, not 1.
Obama followed the Bush trail..worse president ever.. look how the economy plummeted and how the homeless population rose from the Obama era, National debt has increased more than any other president and people for the first time have worried about the dollar value along with surviving the crisis afterwards.. since then economy is rising and Trump is trying to fix his mess. Media is not helping.. Prayer is needed for our country no matter who is president to protect our country and help our president make the decisions through the eyes of God.
I don’t know about that, LBJ was terrible but Trump will be worse than either of them.
Learn how to read, your statement is false
My comment was not posted in the correct area, tax cuts always decrease debt, it is very simply to look up, Bush did not create the debt from tax cuts, the debt came from the housing crash, that came from Clinton.
Most of the debt that Obama inherited came fro war spending, tha was not put on the books by the bush admin. 8 trillion aprox. Look it up
More people died from “covid” under Biden WITH a vaccine than Trump with no NO vaccine…..
Prior to 2016 nobody had a problem with Trump. Wasn’t a racist, wasn’t a dictator, but now allllllll of sudden.
The media has you fooled. Drop the ego. TDSS through the roof.
What if you are wrong about Trump? What is the big dea? Wouldn’t that be a good thing? My god listen to your fellow citizens instead of the people on CNN that are paid to lie to you.
LMFAO, um, it pretty much never went down with any of the recent presidents. And yes the DNC increased the debt by less, like FDR over 900% And of course when the percentage is higher it must be because of the Republican before, but when it actually is lower, it’s because of that current Democrat president… smfh
And let’s not ignore Dwight D Eisenhower and JFK both increasing it by a small amount (yes, I know JFK is a democrat, but he was very fiscally conservative) and then Johnson increased it by more, then Nixon and Ford followed suit continuing to increase, then the next Democrat, Carter, continued to increase it by more. Then we got a bunch of presidents that kept on increasing the national debt, finally slowed down when Clinton came on board when he decided to screw with the tax brackets to force people onto the next bracket to make the numbers look better…
Then yes, Obama, doubling the debt, but “Oh, it was because of Bush!” Even if you ignore the first 2 years, his average increase per year is about twice that of the average increase per year by the president after him, what party is that guy again??
Then if you look at post Civil War, who were the top 5 in the debt increases?
FDR 931.5%
Woodrow Wilson 804.8%
Ronald Reagan 186.7%
Barack Obama 95.3%
George HW Bush 56.2%
Three are Democrats, 2 are Republican (1 of which I’ve always considered a fake Republican, HW Bush…), average per Democrat 610.53%, average per Republican 121.45%. Democrats beat the Republicans more than 5:1.
Then if you look at all of the presidents that actually DECREASED the National Debt during their time in office post Civil War: Ulysses S Grant, Rutherford B Hayes, Chester A Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, Warren G Harding, and Calvin Coolidge, is there a pattern there? SIX Republicans and ONE Democrat. Yep, that surely shows that the Republicans are the ones that keep increasing the debt…
Braindead for sure… smfh
Sure is strange that the last 4 Republican presidents have left this country in a recession. Voters seem to come to their senses then, they finally see that tax cuts for the rich isn’t doing then any good.
lol Hillary under Obama has reset button remember then sold them uranium in uranium one deal. Lol Russia got rich of that. Trump set Russia back an China since he took over. Russia prospered best under Obama so that Russian claim so false I shouldn’t even. Have addressed it. Keep was America manipulated brainwashing news channel. You are clearly being misinformed just look into Russia prosperity from 2008-2016. Then boom trump sent them packing. Same with China. Number 1 in world whole time under Obama. Then boom trump sent packing to #7 an USA back #1.
Here is easier math for everyone.
As right now go look at top 10 states in fiscal bankruptcy basically.
Why is it all 10 are fully ran democratic states an the 10 best ran states 1-8 was all republican. Look at what happened in Chicago when obama took over an then left it to burn why he went to be president an had no idea how to run a state let alone a country. Stop getting your info from site democrats own. Which are most they are misleading you. Look a bureau of econmics . Gov numbers or treasury they can’t mislead they are check over constantly by various group. You people claiming democrats are better with spending an all are crazy. I’m not even from America but I just wrote a paper for cambridge in USA economy under last 5 presidents an anyone who understands whole picture the Debt GDP/GPA democrats in that country when in control clearly screw things up. An someone mentioned racist. I’d advise u to research democrat party they voted against every bill for equal right including most recent civil rights bill. They formed Kkk to kill free slaves Abraham Lincoln the first republican president freed from running from office. Fact I see so many of my people voting an working for party who never wanted u free is crazy to me. MLK jr an Malcolm x both left u videos on how they felt about black Americans voting for a Democratic Party. How you guys got manipulated by that party over there is unbelievable. Please take time to educate self. The racism that democrat party out this country they really until the 80’s is disgusting an for now a democrat to call a republican racist that’s just out right absurd. They spent 200 yrs basically under cruel British democrat racist rule.
I challenge all of you to prove that wrong. Even the top black scholars today all tell us the story same way. Why we forgot the passed an act like the side who always fought for us is racist is frankly straight ignorant to history
Very well said THANK YOU
Ah yes, the “Uranium One” scandal where some uninformed people think the U.S. sold uranium to Russia. Here’s the thing about that, never happened. What did happen was an amount of uranium was sent from the U.S. to Canada for refining, and a portion of that was then sent to Europe for further refining, and when it was all said and done every ounce of it was shipped back to the U.S. The U.S. doesn’t produce enough uranium for it’s own needs, and what it does produce is of very low grade, as such it has to buy from other countries every year to meet it’s own domestic demand. Ergo, the U.S. doesn’t have extra uranium to sell to anyone.
In deed very well said. However, you left some important, that the parties completely switched. The old Democratic party was the party of the South and West. Lincoln’s party changed over from Republican to democrat and vice versa. Look it up.
Matticus: That is a awesome study!
I agree 100%
So you think the debt went down under a democrat? YOU are just blind, well or maybe ignorant I am not sure which since I don’t really know you. According to the chart we are talking about it looks to me like the debt went down only two years and they were both under a Republican President.
Are you crazy, Clinton was the only president to leave a surplus in his last year and Bush promptly blew that away.
Clinton never left a surplus. One year he only increased debt by 20 million but the other 7 years were large increases.
Bill Clinton never left a “surplus” since the national debt increased every year of his presidency. He had a surplus in the public debt, but that is because he “borrowed” even more more money from Social Security and other trust funds. Hence the debt increased.
Clinton never had ny surpluses. that the deficit was reduced to 18 billion in his last year in office is because the GOP Controllef both hoose and senate. the next FY, the dems took over the house, and the deficit increased to 133 billion, a 750% increase.
Sorry Charles (sorry Charlie): the only reason there was a surplus of tax money under Clinton is because of Newt Gingrich forcing Clinton to balance the budget. But take a look at the numbers, the debt still increased, not a dime was taken off the debt. They simply spent the money.
If you look at the chart the last time the debt was ever paid down was in 1957 under Eisenhower. Not 10c has ever gone towards the debt under any president since.
Sorry but the truth hurts sometimes!
I refer you to Article One of the U.S. Constitution. It says there that the Congress controls the purse, NOT THE PRESIDENTS!
So go back and see which party spent the most when they controlled Congress. May I direct you to Bill Clinton’s 2nd term, when Newt Gingrich and the a Republicans controlled the Congress.
….you’re welcome!
No Republican president since Dwight Eisenhower has produced a balanced budget. From 1946 through 1980 the national debt increased by 4.2% a year. Then came the Ronald Reagan tax
cuts. In the next 12 years the US debt increased by 13.32% a year.
Bill Clinton and the Democratic Congress put the tax code back to pre-Reagan levels, which resulted in four balanced budgets and the debt increase plummeted to 4.26% a year.
Then the Republicans gain control of Congress and slimy Newt Gingrich comes in and tries to push through a Balanced Budget Amendment!!! The Republicans hadn’t produced a balanced budget since 1960!!!
I don’t know what you’re looking at, but if you go back to 1864, when the first Republican President was elected, you will see the majority of reductions to the debt took place under republican presidents.
The largest increases of debt took place under Democrats.
ummm…I don’t see math your way GOD loves the truth but, whatever! I see a lot of spending on both sides right up until 2017, 2018 & 2019! that is all.
God does love the truth, but you don’t. If you did then you wouldn’t ignore the fact the rarely does the same party of the president control congress, and it is congress that controls spending. It wasn’t Bill Clinton that wrote the bill. It was a republican controlled congress. Now Bill had some say, since he has veto power, but it’s usually Republicans writing the laws that you’re giving credit to democrat presidents. Of course, there’s more to it than just that. We don’t live in a static world.
Are you looking at the same chart I am? Every president after Coolidge has added to the deficit during their term. What fantasy land are you living in? For anyone to point fingers at one party over another truly shows their ignorance. The national debit almost doubled under Obama and more then doubled under Reagan so just stop with this Republican/Democrat shit………………….it’s prejudice at its finest!!!
Actually it almost TRIPLED under Reagan.
Well stated
Ignorant? Why don’t you go ahead and look at why the budget and deficit was low during Clinton. It was the GOP in the Senate. Do your research!!!!!
Where’s Andrew Jackson when we need him?
LOL!! Look at the total increase for his term in office. Almost double! Who’s the brain dead one??
ALOL!! Look at the total increase for his term in office. Almost double! Who’s the brain dead one??
god youre fucking stupid. WHO CONTROLS THE SPENDING IN THE COUNTRY???? NOT THE PRESIDENT YOU DUMBASS ITS THE HOUSE CAUSE THEY HAVE THE POWER OF THE PURSE. IF YOU LOOK AT WHEN THE DNC HAS HELD THE HOUSE THE DEBT GOES THROUGH THE ROOF AND THE OPPOSITE WHEN GOP HOLDS THE HOUSE
That’s because control of the house and senate changed
You’re an idiot , Obama increased the debt by over 7.5 trillion dollars ,
You are right the national debt increased approximately $8 Trillion Dollars, under Obama. However, look at the condition the country was in when he assumed the Presidency? It was on the verge of a Depression. In 2008, Bush has to bail out the Banks, that started the the worst Recession this country had ever experienced since the Great Depression. The genesis of the Obama Spending was what he inherited from Bush: 2 Wars…A Deep Depression. 10% Unemployment, 26 Million Jobs Lost, Housing Market or Real Estate Crash. Auto Manufacturing Loss, Parts and Manufacturing, Auto Bailout. No other President except Franklin Roosevelt, entered office with the country in such bad shape then President Obama. However, when he left, 8 Years later, the Country was humming on all cylinders.
The very charts above you prove you wrong yet you spout this BS? Obama had a 43.3% increase in total debt, far out distancing second place Bush with 19%.
If you then say it was Bush’s fault then why did Trumps decline so far before the Covid disaster and the Blue state shutdowns?

you need to get your facts straight or quit lying. wilson’s 804% increase, fdr’s 931% increase, carter’s 46% increase, clinton’s 39% [even with the internet bubble], obama’s 95% don’t count. when obama took office, the debt was at 10 Trillion [bush II 74% overall increase]. when he [obama] left, it was at 19 trillion [95.3% increase].
Thank you Ray Rasmussen for stating the obvious truth.
Your math is wrong, or you cannot read the chart: When President Obama assumed the Presidency in FY2009, The National Debt was approximately $12 Trillion Dollars. When he left 8 years later it was approximately $20 Trillion Dollars. That is an increase of $8 Trillion Dollars.
Everyone is partially right and partially wrong. The bottom line is the cause and effect during all the years, not the policies of each president has caused this massive debt. Case in point, wars whether declared or not are expensive and increase the debt. The huge defense budget for the world police called the US Department of Defense (DoD) cost money and increase the national debt. The US hasn’t had a budget in decades. That is a party specific because both parties are at fault. Congress is at fault. Our politicians have failed us. The nation debt is at 27 trillion dollars and growing. The interest on the national debt is enormous and one of the massive expenses just under larger line items like Defense Spending and Social Security. The house of cards will crash at some point. So, quit blaming any specific president. It is the entire political system that is failing us. Wake up!
It has nothing to do with GOP or Democrat, it is the “Establishment” that created this debt. To the average person, that means both parties where Congress is the fiscal enemy. They haven’t had a budget in decades. They tax and spend. The US has been in endless undeclared wars costing trillions. This is why the rich get richer and the poor poorer and the military is fighting an undeclared war somewhere in the world. Wake up.
Laughing at you.
Au contraire, welfare related depending has greatly increased since LBJ increased welfare to include aid to the children of unwed mothers to it in the mid 60s.
You need to redo your calculations. These numbers are additive. Obama in 8 years $10,384 Trillion, Trump in 4 years $2,454 Trillion. You are welcome
right now Your DNC has raised the debt more than any other in History Biden your president with monkey brains has raised the debt 4 trillion in three months and all his flying Monkeys keep t
aking advantage of his mental deficiency
No. Every candidate since FDR has raised the debt. This trend was caused by, you guessed it: an DNC candidate. Now I’m not say that the republicans are any better. I don’t like 50% of republicans. But your false trend is just it. A false trend. On top of all of that debt itself isn’t the thing we should care about. It’s wasted spending. Regardless of your ideal tax or spending rates none of it matters if we can’t spend efficiently.
Actually biggest debt increases are during wars. You actually think democrats Woodrow Wilson (WWI) and Franklin Roosevelt (WWII) lowered our debt? Lyndon Johnson (Vietnam War) lowered our debt? Obama lowered debt? Partisan thinking shamefully blinds those on both sides of the aisle.
I always love a good Democrat isn’t at fault line My father in law was still blaming bush for Obama’s failures 5 years into Obama’s presidency… must be nice to never have to be responsible! Eventually after o don’t know say, 1,900 days in office you may have to take some ownership… you have after all had ample time by then to overturn and fix and liberal utopia the heck out of things and make it ahhh better…
Are you brain dead? George W added 4 trillion Obama added 10 trillion and Trump added 2 trillion. F the democrats.
You better study what you’re reading a lot more. Since when does the Obama/Biden increase of the national debt by $9.8 trillion (more debt than all Presidents before them combined) turn into a reduced debt?
If you believe it does, better study up on math too.
Obamas first year was on him, not the previous administration. The dems held the vote over for him. Nothing he spent did anything to slow down the implosion from the collapse of clintons housing bubbl
e and we would have been 10 times better if the Gov did absolutely nothing
You’re a LIAR…Look at the U.S. Debt under YOUR BELOVED CRIPPLE FDR.
FOOL…Typical Liberal “DEMON”CRAT…HEAD IN THE SAND IGNORANT ASSHOLE.
Laughing at you
Completely False .. Eisenhower REDUCED the debt .. Eisenhower is a REPUBLICAN .. Eisehower created more Working Class Wealth and Economic Growth than every Democrat in History .. Eisnhower was the LAST President that created Growth for the Middle Class, the Working Class and Blue Collar Americans .. Modern Presidents do NOT have anything to do with creating jobs .. jobs are created by Employers – they are NOT created by the White House .. Trump did not create one single job .. Biden did not create one single job .. Obama did not create one single job .. Trump is a loser completely unfit to be President .. Biden is a loser completely unfit to be President .. Obama is a loser completely unfit to be President .. they have all made the Rich Richer and the Poor Poorer .. The DNC and GOP {ex-Democrat, anti-Republican Conservatives} are EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE for our unsustainable Debt .. it’s been unsustainable since Clinton .. Clinton [D] Bush [C] Obama [D] Trump [C] Biden [D] .. BOTH Political Parties are Destroying America ..
Only a liberal would say less increase in debt means it goes down.
There’s negative sign when it actually goes down and that doesn’t happen hardly ever.
Could also argue Dems inherit a great economy so they don’t have to borrow. Them republicans inherit crap so they have to borrow.
Biden just goes with massive inflation so none of my dollars are worth what they used to be and debt just seems less because every dollar goes less and less further.
I wish that were true. I supported the Democrats after seeing the last fiscally responsible one (Bill Clinton) but after the spending that occurred under the Obama administration I must conclude that both parties have lost their minds when it comes to spending.
These people in Washington seem to have no concept of money. During this pandemic, we have seen them unleashed. The most debt incurred in one year in US history was 2020 at over $5 trillion. It’s time to rein in both sides and start reducing the National debt…long overdue really.
Your wrong…Obama raised the debt by over 9 Trillion in 8 years,,,& WTF did he accomplish,,,not much,,,the 4 different Military categories & their resources were heavily depleted & poorly maintained,,,Trump was doing quite well his first 3 years(not to mention our economy /fuel prices etc,,,,),,,But Covid hit ,,,,affecting his 4th year performance,,,Now look at whaT THE CROOKED/CORRUPT SWAMP MONSTER you voted for has done….were headed for a Recession if not already there,,,,,& possib ly a Depression,,,& w/skyrocketing interest rates,,,OUR US national debt will go ballistic,,,I hope you take credit for the situation we all are in presently,,,,try watching 2000 Mules,,,,& wake up
Frankly speaking,the devil is in the details here. When the GOP they tried to reduce the deficit and ultimately the national debt …in all cases. But their key target was social spending…mainly welfare related programs…and since typically they lacked majorities in both houses of Congress, they were blocked by Democrats…who invariably use welfare related programs to buy votes. Our regional wars played donectole also. But if you look at our federal government spending by category, you will find that welfare related programs have grown disproportionately to other government costs.
The Republicans are fool and never want accept The truth, who stole under Obama in Republican Congress, as Paul Ryan, Nunes, McConnell, Chaffetz, Gulliani and others who were stealing secretly with Trump And Putin, are The same who intalled Trump and stole the elections And also stole under Bush too. They are The Nazi thieves infiltrated working cor Russia And their Republican pockets. And also they have some puppets in Democrats and other party helping them.
You’re a troll

You are just a sad little person. I’m betting you are single.
You, are an idiot! There is no other explanation.

What a psychopath
Andrew Jackson, greatest US President in history.
Paid off the national debt and stopped the international banksters from creating a central bank, the only President to ever do so.
It took them 80 years to finally set eventually take control of our money and plunge us into perpetual debt and taxes via the Federal Reserve and their enforcement division the IRS.
It seems that many ‘other’ party brain damnaged people have as yet to read the U.S. Constitution! My forefathers were German Hessians captured by George Washington on the other side of the Delaware, THAT changed the attitudes of the Freedom fighters into winning the most heated battle of history (well… maybe a few others… Jesus @ the cross…). But I think the worst battle is the one over the value of TRUTH! “Thou shalt NOT bear false witness against thy neighbor”#9 has been around for a while, & “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors… fill in the blank”#10! Ex.20:3 #1 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT, but through the skools wee’ve bekum 2 mo stupud! Yeihhh… unless that’s exactly what ‘they’ want, you must first beat down the moral integrity of ‘We the People’ U.N.till the govt. can be manipulated into ‘N.W.O.’ mindset thinking. 1984 ring a bell anyone? The Book of Revelation spells out exactly what IS happening right now on this Earth… and if your definition of the word ‘is’ isn’t the same definition as “He Who was, And Is, and ever shall Be”… then what book of definitions are you reading?
P.S. Andrew Jackson did say “I killed the bank” (his last dying words), but we’ve had ‘night of the living dead’ since 1913! Actually since they killed Lincoln, the greenback, the only constitutionally legal paper money, there has been a messrepresentation of money into the freefall we’ve been in for over a century. The End is coming upon U.S., pray for our government, neighbors & selves that we may be counted worthy by His indwelling resurrection Spirit! “Love thy neighbor as thyself”!
Praying for all immigrant travelers that desire that far off land.

True
Exactly.
And what is the answer to this free fall of debt?
Do we fire all in Washington and start over with a new administration?
Or just let it ride into the sunset along with our countries freedom from all others?
I guess by the numbers above, we can thank B.O for the dramatic increase in our debt.
At least when GW was in there he was in a war that carried over to BO.
How about we start closing ranks with all these countries.
We have been giving money to all these countries since WW2 to help rebuild them.
Then there are hundreds of government programs that milk the system and show little to NO gain.
Some have had multiples of times money was dedicated to them, and you never see it.
I am no fan of President Obama and he did raise the debt. But the truth is, and you can use the chart to verify it, President Reagan had the highest percentage of debt raised by a single president post WW2. True is true.
The answer is close to replacing them all, should have been done years ago, stop, electing the idiots that got us in this mess. Judge them as a team instead of individuals. But even individually for example the debt has gone up 20 trillion dollars since Nancy Pelosi was in office, 5 Trillion just while she was speaker, but they don’t want us to blame the individual not because they are not to blame but they don’t want to be held responsible. Just like a small child they do what they get away with.
They lie to us constantly.
They are too cowardly to say you can’t add programs and lower taxes so they increase the debt instead then we not only have a tax increase we get to pay interest on it..
They use accounting tricks that would get any CPA put in prison.
They do these things and as a punishment we re-elect them and then wonder why things aren’t getting better.
There is an at fault group, it is the voting public.
Your assertions are so, so very bad, and wrong. You cannot blame one person, not one single individual for our national debt. You must look at the different political parties, and their ideologies…What were their priorities and how they governed? It is clear from the above chart, that starting with Ronald Reagan, 1981- 1988, Reaganomics Theory, Trickle-down economics, and the policies of the Republican Party, has had the greatest impact, and their policies have contributed more to our National Debt than the Democratic Party.
Every recession since 1980, started under a Republican Administrations. These Recessions have proved costly to the citizens of this country. It has been left up to subsequent Democratic Administrations and their policies to lead this country to recovery, each time….The Republicans Administrations have all reduced taxes, except one, George H. Walker Bush. He raised taxes, and was not reelected. All the others have cut taxes, especially for the Rich and the Corporations, and did not reduce spending to offset those tax cuts. The net result has been increased deficited spending, because less revenues came into the US Treasury. It has only been under the Democrats, that the country has experienced any type of reduced deficit spending. Only under President Clinton, and his economic policies, did the country experience balanced budgets. When George Bush assumed the Presidency after Clinton, in 2001, what did he do? He instantly cut the taxes, took the country to war, and passed a massive Prescription Drug Plan Medicare Part D Program. He did this without corresponding cuts to offset these programs. The net result, reduced revenues came into the US Treasury, and huge deficited ensued. When Bush left office in 2008, with the country in a Recession, deficit spending was averaging $1.3 Trillion Dollars. One must remember, The FY of any Administration’s Budget, is the really the last FY, of the previous Administration’s Budget. The previous President always submits the budget for the incoming President.
You simply cannot continue to cut taxes, and increase spending, or cut taxes without introducing corresponding cuts to offset the lack of revenues that tax cuts will cause, and expect deficits to go down. This has been the foundation of the Republican Party. No one likes higher taxes, however, the country and the government is growing. Things just cost more. Therefore, revenues must come from somewhere, to take care of these increases in our country’s responsibilities. If the country want lower taxes, then they must accept less services. The country simply cannot expect to have a Christmas Tree full of Services, without economic growth, and higher taxes revenues to pay for them. Looking at the chart! Under the Republican Party Ideologies, one can clearly see which political party contributed the greatest percent/dollars, to this country’s huge debt. Under Trump alone, the deficit increased $7 Trillion Dollars, in 4 years. No other Administration policies have increased the National Debt, so much, than Donald Trump.
Obama was forced to save all the whites people’s jobs. Obamacare saves America money. CBO says medicare for all will save trillions. THEREFORE OF COURSE THE RACIST GOP IS AGAINST IT. .
From 2001 to 2019 that’s 15 trillion of debt caused by white hatred of Muslims. All your wars caused it. Your wars caused the financial crisis too..
your GOP bou Bush diverted from Al-qeada to Saddam for no reason. and today the racists blame congressmen Omar for Al-queada , , she was a 12 year old refugee in 2001. bush did not finish the job instead went to war in Iraq. GAMBLING THEY COULD WIN OVER THE PEOPLE IN WEEKS.. POOF. THERE GOES 15 TRILLION,
oh it’s JUST a co-incidence we are in 8 wars at the same time we borrowed 15 trillion dollars.
Obamacare is not saving anyone money, instead they’re taking our SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS TO GIVE TO THOSE THAT ARE NOT HERE LEGALLY AND THOSE THAT NEVER PUT ANYTHING INTO THE SYSTEM!

This post is so irresponsible, that it should not be allowed to be posted. Undocumented Immigrants do not receive benefits from The Social Security Trust Fund.
Undocumented Immigrants, do not received any government assistance. Think about this, they tried to get assistance, they would have to register to get any government assistance. If they registered, then Immigrations, would know where they were, and would deport them. Therefore, why would they do this?
Your post is completely irresponsible…
Has the Department of Defense, brought America down! Has having a National Highway System, brought America Down! Has having Social Security and Medicare, brought America down? Then how would give access to Medical Care and Health Care, to 20 Million uninsured Americans, bring America down?
Please explain this to me?
Reading the first part of your post proves you are the racist here. Get on with life and put your racist bigotry in the past where it belongs.
you are a moron
It must suck to live in your minds reality. I am sorry for you. I hope it gets better for your racist self.
Obamacare was and is a disaster. You love it because you profited from the redistribution of other’s wealth.
It appears that every president since Calvin Coolidge has increased the debt overall. Overspending less is not causing the debt to decrease. It’s increasing the debt at a slower rate. Whether slowly or quickly, the debt is still rising. Debt of $22,027,424,114,818.60 is insane and both political parties share responsibility. That includes you and me for continually voting for the same over-spenders.
Am I the only one who has noticed that the Obama Budget DECREASES are credited as INCREASES in this and that 2009, which was signed by George Bush is credited to Obama.
You sit on a throne of lies.
Learn how budgets work, when the fiscal year ends, who approves them, and who was President during the end of a Fiscal year. Everything is explained at the top, you’re just too lazy to read it.
Don’t forget Obama’s Stimulus, Cash for Clunkers and kickbacks to his buddies are on that fiscal years spending.
The debt didn’t go down but up under Obama, every year. Clinton’s supposed “balanced budget” was also not balanced as you can see just by looking at the debt per year chart above, if it was balanced why did the debt go up? It was simply an accounting trick where they did an intergovernmental loan from SSI and called it income. Simply put if the debt went up the budget wasn’t balanced.
The thing called Money The Root of all evil. propaganda brainwashed fake news watchers. its all so spun and no one can see the trees for the forest.

Hate Trump and Vote for him anyway. Don’t walk away RUN and do it for those that have died fighting for there Country and all of are freedom.
it isn’t money, but the love of money, that is the root to all evil.
Do the numbers. The national debt between 1945 and 1981 grew roughly at the rate of inflation.
Then the Republicans took over. The Reagan administration cut taxes on the rich by 60% and on the middle class by 40%. Result: in less than 11 years the national debt more than quadrupled,
from $997.8 billion in 1981 to $4.064 trillion by 1992. The Republicans weren’t done. They cut
corporate taxes, capital gains taxes, estate taxes. They weakened the National Relations Labor
Board, the SEC, and — tragically — the IRS. This crippled employees’ power to bargain, gave more power to Wall Street, and weakened the IRS’ ability to go after tax cheats. Then Reagan deregulated the savings and loans, resulting in the greatest bank robbery in history, $160 billion gone missing, most of which was never recovered, and the taxpayers were on the hook for a lion’s share of the loss. The Republicans were hardly done. They engineered the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act (with the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Bill), which led to deregulation of banks and investment companies, which led to the Great Recession of 2008-plus, which led to taxpayer bailouts of the same companies that created the mess, and a significant amount of that money was doled out as bonuses to the very crooks responsible for that disaster. Again, the taxpayers, who had nothing to do with this mess, were on the hook to clean it up.
President Obama’s biggest mistake as president was not rescinding the tax cuts that the dope
George W. Bush installed. The Democrats made a deal with W that the tax cuts would expire in 10 years.
Now, our system is engulfed with bribery money to Congress that ensures that the rich have their way. The United States, “land of the free, home of the brave,” “with liberty and justice for all” now is a country in which 1% of the people are sitting on more of this country’s wealth than the lower 90%. So long, democracy.
All of the National Debt comes from Congress- both parties be damned. The President proposes a budget, Congress passes what they want.
Regan proposed tax cuts. The Congress agreed with them and proposed to cut spending. They never did. In fact spending increased.
There is very little money the President can spend without the approval of Congress.
The wealthy don’t sit on that wealth. They invest it in companies that make them more money, while providing jobs.
The House controls spending and the Democrats controlled the House during Reagon’s presidency.
The true will let us free, excellent description. congratulations. God bless all of you. Patrick.
it aint partisan Jack it is BANK-isan… it will never be paid and you will be enslaved the 14th amendment you craved total aggregate US NAtional debt is 314 trillion…[well i stopped adding those years less than a trillion
what is the interest rate on the national debt?
is it getting serviced? at what rate%

i gotta think we are at collapse’s door
collapse or not the PUBLIC DEBT SHALL NOT BE QUESTIONED oh ye 14th amendment citizens now ,or simple logic oh simple minds….Things that cannot go up for ever……..WONT! no congress has ever paid upon he principal… would you? pay for last sessions transgressions? when you can spend all on your friends riches…
Pingback: 20 Mind-Blowing National Debt Statistics [2019 Update]
These numbers are not adjusted for inflation, rendering them virtually meaningless. For example, Lincoln. His roughly $800 million cumulative total would be $24 billion in 2020 dollars, which equates to 1.2% of the $22 trillion total debt. Not .01%. Percentages and comparisons that spans over 200 years must be adjusted for inflation to be accurate.
The debt has consistently been added to and deducted from, over the course of this nation’s history. Adjusting for inflation is meaningless, when you’re looking at overall debt. We’re still paying off the debt of Lincoln, because there have been no steps, yet, to balance a budget and decrease our debt to 0. If someone had $2,000,000 in debt in 1993, they would still owe $2,000,000 + interest. The debt is what the government has been borrowing for overspending. We owe what we owe. Adjusting for inflation has no purpose, here.
Now, if you want to adjust for inflation to see what $2,000,000 would buy in 1865 vs what $2,000,000 would buy now, that’s a different story.
Pingback: The Shrunken State of the Economy and Employment – 'Nox & Friends
One important point that should be considered here is that during a president’s first year in office, not only is he inheriting his predecessor’s economy, but his budget for a great part of his first year in office. I believe a more accurate assessment would be to tack on 2001 to Clinton, 2009 to Bush, 2017 to Obama, etc…
The market went up with Trump taking money from our SS and Medicare. That’s make me mad, how about you! Very sneakily steeling from us and where are the protests? You really think you 401K is really up. We live in this bubble and it will pop, my company down 30% and the stock is in record territory. A very fake situation.
Yes it will affect the debt, his vote for me grand illusion! Stealing votes and money from Americans a big con. I want a new conservative party to vote for and one that is for the middle class. I will not vote Republican again. Please join me and it will happen. Biden is a better option only in that he a better man who will listen to all Americans. Trump went into a church, bid not open the Bible, did not say a prayer for all the Americans suffering. I think I made my point, he is quite fake! He is for himself and other billion airs and will tell you anything to get your vote. I do not trust him with my SS and Medicare.
It $218,000 per tax payer and we need the new party to fix the Debt before our lives crumble. There is a limit on how much each tax payer can afford. Do you feel good about what you owe? How much more can you afford?
Two names really stood out to me… Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson
wow its just as bad here as facebook. So bottom line if you spend more then you bring in you are in the red, and for those with little intelligence, politics has nothing to do with it.
Reading these comments, you would have to agree that, people believe what they want to believe. The facts make no difference.
I think the Presidents are ascribed wrong. Fiscal year X starts in Oct of year X-1 and runs through Sept of year X. So the first budget for a President inaugurated in year X is the budget for FY X+1, since that is the first FY whose budget is affected by his legislation.
So, for example, the first GWB deficit should be FY 2002, the first Pelosi deficit is 2008, the first Obama deficit is FY 2010, etc.

Everyone asking for a bail out this is why Trumps Spending will be up, any president would have done this, if the democrats were in this 2020 debt would deff. be at 40 trillion. The corona virus bail out does not actually count in “the hands of trump” this was our government.

The BLEEP Congress Criminal Persons and Senatorial Criminal Persona, and Judicial Criminal Persons, and even the President should not be able to spend what the US Citizens work for and earn without being held accountable to Embezzlement, Fraud and Theft!
Lets set some items straight:
First Bush over the course of his term had a NetGain of 5.3K NonFarm Jobs. Very small in the scheme of things, but atleast it was positive. On the other hand, he added $4.35 Trillion to the debt. Good or bad, that is the simple fact. And it doesn’t matter if what he inherited, because we could say he inheritied his own economic challenges. 5.3k Jobs & $4.35 Trillion of Debt, that is what is represented by his term.
Obama on the other hand doubled the debt, adding in $9.55 Trillion in Debt over his term. He did added 567.7K Jobs during his 8 years in office.
Trump, even accounting for 2020 and the fight with Covid added 306.4k jobs during his office. He also added an additional $3.1 Trillion. As mentioned some of that was for Covid.
In the end, all three presidents added to the debt. Trump probably had the best economy and if it wasn’t for Covid assistance was on track to hit $2.8 trillion in debt before he left office either way.
In the end, regardless of what happened in their terms they all had things that affected their terms. I would point out that most debt calculations take place in September of the calendar year, so the last/first year in office for each president coming into office in January is absorbing some debt from their predecessor, or passing some on, depending on how you look at it.
All added jobs. All Added Debt. As much as I don’t like the man, it would appear that Trump had the best job creation over the course of any 4 year term in office. He also had the best debt management over a 4 year term. Call it what you will, it pains me to say that it is simple fact.
As a democrat myself, I feel I should point out that for the overall record, Republicans and Democrats are both negligent for our futures and ours kids futures. We should be holding them accountable and ensuring they work together. This in-fighting is not helping the situation.

A few of you people apparently don’t know where spending bills originate. There is this short little document called the constitution. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills. Article I, Section 7, Clause 1. Aaaand, I love the info with this article, but it leaves out the political party in charge of the purse. Look at the table again, and try to figure out what political party loaded up the national debt.
Pingback: The Passionate Poetry of 9OS (000) - NineOS
I want to share a message that has been spreading all over the internet that concerns the times we are living in. Whether you believe in God or not, this is a must read message!
We can see throughout time how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Would it surprise you to know that the Bible foretold of this event? Don’t believe me? This may be the most imporant message you will read in these times…please do not ignore this!
This messsage reveals what the Mark of the Beast is, and the meaning behind counting a number people have been pondering for centuries, 666. This message also shares why Barack Obama is the Antichrist. This is truly a message from God!
In the Revelation of Jesus Christ given to the apostle John, we read:
“He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666” (Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV).
Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that says we must have the mark to buy or sell. So, it deduces itself to this conclusion.
These verses could not be referring to something spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right-hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one “OR” the other. It once again deduces itself to this conclusion.
Also, how could you determine who truly has a spiritual mark so that they may buy or sell? And, as you will read further in this article, to have the mark of the beast is the same to have the name of the beast, or the number of its name. You will begin to see even more clearly why this mark cannot be something purely spiritual.
Here is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this microchip in the late 1960’s.
“Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about a one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).
Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.
Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places Revelation says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.
Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16-18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this refers to a hypodermic needle (see photo).
Mr. Sanders asked a Boston Medical Center doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor responded that if the microchip broke inside a human body, the lithium would cause a severe and painful wound filled with pus. This is what the book of Revelation says:
“And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).
THE HIDDEN MEANING BEHIND THE NUMBER 666 REVEALED!
What I first want to mention, before I share what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me concerning the number of the beast, is that God confirms in threes. We can see this throughout scripture:
“For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one” (1 John 5:7 NKJV).
“and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:4 NKJV).
“…Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” (Revelation 4:8 NKJV).
There are many more examples, but I thought I would just share three of them to make the point.
Examining Revelation 13:16,17,18, the first group of three I would like to point out is that the mark of the beast is described in three separate verses, 16, 17 and 18.
The next three I see is in verse 16, “He causes all…” is followed by three contrasting categories of people,
1 – “both small and great,
2 – rich and poor,
3 – free and slave…”.
Then unto verse 17, it opens with, “and that no one may buy or sell except one who has…”, followed by three explanations of what one must have to buy or sell,
1 – “…the mark
2 – or the name of the beast,
3 – or the number of his name”.
Now unto verse 18, we read “Let him who has understanding calculate…”, which is followed by,
1 – “the number of the beast,
2 – for it is the number of a man:
3 – His number is 666”.
The last three I see is the number “6” being used three times in a row. The reason I’m making this point about God confirming in three is because it is the key to unlocking how to calculate the number 666.
Throughout the centuries there have been people trying to calculate numbers based on titles and names that come up to the number 666 to identify one person, the Antichrist; but from Revelation 13:18, I do not see where God is telling us to count up to 666, but rather to count the number of the beast. This number is identified as 666. So the verse is telling us to count the number 666.
What does it mean to count? It means to add up. So how could we add up 666? Remember my previous point about God confirming in threes is key to unlocking the number 666. So logically, what would be the best way to count the number 666? To count it equally by using the rule of three based off the number.
We cannot count it equally as 600+60+6, this would also bring us back to the start.
We cannot count it as 600+600+600, or 60+60+60 because there are no zeroes in between or at the end of 666.
The only logical option is 6+6+6=18.
What is interesting is that the verse that reveals for us to count the number itself is verse 18 (there a total of 18 verses in Revelation Chapter 13).
Another interesting point is the only two other combinations (making a total of three possible combinations) for placing a “+” symbol in between 666 are:
66+6=72 and 6+66=72.
Add both 72’s together and you get 144.
Why the number 144 is worth our attention is because the verse following Revelation 13:18 is the first time in the Bible where the 144,000 are being described in detail:
“Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads…” (Revelation 14:1).
Now if you add up all three numbers from counting 666 by moving the “+” symbol around, it would be 72+72+18=162. What is compelling about the number 162, is, if you divide 144,000 by 162, you get 888. The name of Jesus in Greek gematria adds up to 888. The New Testament was originally written in the Greek language. Revelation 14:1 not only mentions the 144,000, but also the Lamb who is Jesus.
Now what is interesting about the number for Jesus, 888, is that if you apply the same formula that was used to count 666, you get 8+8+8=24. Why the number 24? Revelation chapter 4 tells us there are 24 elders seated around the throne of God. This is the same throne where Jesus sits.
Now if you take:
8+8+8=24
8+88=96
88+8=96
you get 24+96+96=216.
Take 144,000 divided by 216 and you get 666.
Remember that this was the same exact formula we used to count the number 666 that ultimately brought forth the number 888.
Here is a quick recap to demonstrate how this formula confirms itself as being the true way to count 666:
1: 6+6+6=18 > 66+6=72 > 6+66=72 > 18+72+72=162
2: 144,000 divided by 162=888
3: 8+8+8=24 > 88+8=96 > 8+88=96 > 24+96+96=216
4: 144,000 divided by 216=666
1: 6+6+6=18 > 66+6=72…
As you can see, it is perpetual. And remember that we consistently used a formula that worked in threes being the number that God uses for confirmation.
Here is another mathematical confirmation: 144,000 divided by 6, divided by 6, divided by 6 (6,6,6) equals 666.
So what could this mean? Well we know in this world we are identified by numbers in various forms. From our birth certificate to social security, as well as our drivers license; being identified based on a system of ruler ship. So it is possible that this RFID microchip will contain a new identification that has a total of 18 characters (6+6+6).
“here the wisdom is, the one having the mind let him calculate the number of the wild beast, number for “of human” it is, and the number of it 666″ (Revelation 13:1, Greek Translation).
The Greek word “anthrōpos” being used in verse 18 where it says “of human” is the Greek strongs concordance G444. The first two definitions of the word are “a human being, whether male or female”, and, “generically, to include all human individuals”. Could the number of the beast apply to all mankind?
In the Greek (the New Testament was originally written in the Greek language), and other translations, you will notice the beast is described as an “it”, instead of “him”. The reason I’m making this point is because when a translation says “His number is 666”, this would imply a singular person, the Antichrist. But by saying “the number of it 666”, implies that it is of the beast system as a whole.
We can know the number of the beast cannot be to identify products (like a new barcode) to buy or sell because scripture says we cannot buy or sell without the number of the beast. What am I getting at? There will be instances where you could buy something someone made themselves and it wouldn’t have a store branded identification on it. But for this number to be in our chips, that is where it must be to conclude ultimately that we cannot buy or sell without having the number of the beast. As previously mentioned in Revelation 13:18, the number of the beast (6+6+6=18) is a “human number”, definition “generically, to include all human individuals”.
Truly a great division is taking place between good and evil—both spiritually and physically (riots, unrest, politics). If you take the current year 2020 and divide it by the number 666 (known for its satanic implications) you will get the number 30330. This number 30330 happens to be the number used to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Freaky? And one thing is certain, 2020 is truly being divided by Satan. He is the master deceiver and spreader of chaos. Jesus calls him the father of lies.
So I looked up this number 30330 concerning Joe Biden, and I found this information:
If you send a text to that number (at that time), you would get a response asking to support Joe’s campaign to take down Donald Trump, with one part in caps saying “CHIP IN >>” pointing to a link to go and donate.
“CHIP IN”? Obama has used this phrase in the past on his twitter and people believe it is a subliminal message to receive the mark of the beast, that is to say the implantable RFID microCHIP that will go IN our body.

Is your name written in the Lamb’s book of life? Jesus says that we must be born again to enter the kingdom of God in the Gospel of John chapter 3.
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name” (Revelation 14:9-11).
BARACK OBAMA IS THE ANTICHRIST:
In the Islamic religion they have man called the Mahdi who is known as their messiah of whom they are waiting to take the stage. There are many testimonies from people online who believe this man will be Barack Obama who is to be the biblical Antichrist based off dreams they have received. I myself have had strange dreams about him like no other person. So much so that I decided to share this information.
He came on stage claiming to be a Christian with no affiliation to the Muslim faith…
“In our lives, Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith. But there have been times where my faith has been questioned — by people who don’t know me — or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing,” – Barack Obama
…but was later revealed by his own family members that he indeed is a devout Muslim.
So what’s in the name? The meaning of someones name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface…
“And He (Jesus) said to them (His disciples), ‘I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'” (Luke 10:18).
In the Hebrew language we can uncover the meaning behind the name Barack Obama.
Barack, also transliterated as Baraq, in Hebrew is: lightning
baraq – Biblical definition:
From Strongs H1299; lightning; by analogy a gleam; concretely a flashing sword: – bright, glitter (-ing, sword), lightning. (Strongs Hebrew word H1300 baraq baw-rawk’)
Barak ‘O’bamah, The use of bamah is used to refer to the “heights” of Heaven.
bamah – Biblical definition:
From an unused root (meaning to be high); an elevation: – height, high place, wave. (Strongs Hebrew word H1116 bamah baw-maw’)
The day following the election of Barack Obama (11/04/08), the winning pick 3 lotto numbers in Illinois (Obama’s home state) for 11/5/08 were 666.
Obama was a U.S. senator for Illinois, and his zip code was 60606.
The names of both of Obama’s daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we were to write those names backwards we would get “ailam ahsatan”. Now if we remove the letters that spell “Alah” (Allah being the God of Islam), we get “I am Satan”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
These are just a few of many evidences why Barack Obama is the Antichrist. You can see many more in my article on the website above, as well as read about the dreams I’ve had concerning this man. I’m more than convinced that God has shown me that he is without a doubt the Antichrist, and we will see him rise to power in the not so dinstant future.
Jesus stands alone among the other religions who say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil, and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into our reality?
Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good that we have done, but rather the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?
God has brought down His moral law’s through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Sinai. These laws were not given so we may be justified, rather that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God’s character of what He has put in each and every one of us, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, and so forth.
We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh over 2000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill; even bringing the law to it’s truest light by stating, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:27-28).
The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood.
Because God is Holy and just, the wrath that we deserve could not go unnoticed. Through the perfect righteousness and justice of God’s character, it must be dealt with, it must be quenched, it must be satisfied.
For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.
This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all die and go to hell. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades, but was raised to life on the third day and seated at the right hand of God in power.
So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death.
Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins. This is not just a head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him.
Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again'” (John 3:5-7).
Come before the Lord with a contrite spirit, humble yourself, ask Him for His forgiveness, to receive the free gift of His salvation, to receive His Holy Spirit, so that you may be transformed into a new creature, into a child of the living God.
There is a reason why the words of Jesus have been translated in to over 2000 languages, and nothing comes remotely close (the Quran just over 100), because there is a God in heaven who desires to have a relationship with you, to know Him through His word, as that is how we personally get to know anybody. There is a reason why it is the year 2021, because Jesus came to earth just over 2000 years ago fulfilling major prophecy causing a divide in our timeline.
Jesus loves you! Seek Him while He may be found! We must repent and turn from practicing sin…for if we are not following Jesus, we are following the devil. There is no neatural ground. We are either living in the lie, or the truth. God bless you!
Clinton never had any surpluses. that the deficit was reduced to 18 billion in his last year in office is because the GOP controlled both house and senate. the next FY, the dems took over the house, and the deficit increased to 133 billion, a 750% increase.
I wish I could post this chart on my Facebook Page. The American People, or as many as possible should see this chart. It is so very enlightening, and revealing. I wish there was a Link.
STARTING WITH Lord Reagan, 1981, aka Reaganomics, aka Trick-down Economic Theory, sure did not allow much to trickle-down. It did one thing for sure. It allowed more of the Rich to keep more of their money. It added a lot of deficited spending aka Debt to the working people. This chart would clearly show the American people why the country’s economics are the way it is. It would show them why our schools, streets, bridges, airports, our Infrastructure is in the condition that it is in…
The smoking gun is in the hands of the Republican Party…

Relax everyone, this debt is not real. As we all should know by now all this created debt is electronic fiddling. No real xtra notes are made, just credit notes that are made from fresh air with interest added. So if you default for some reason don’t worry to much.
The Fed can twist the note making dial to any speed they like and do.
I read many of these posts and they are all nonsense. The federal government is NOT AUTHORIZED to give any of our tax money to “particular parties”. The federal government is NOT authorized to “bail out” any company. The federal government is NOT AUTHORIZED to hand out our tax money in welfare programs – did any of you know there are more than 87 federal welfare programs? Stupid voters keep reelecting the same losers (LIARS) over and over again. The House of Representatives is supposed to control the budget, that’s why they must be elected every 2 years – if voters were up to date on what’s going on we would NEVER have “career politicians”. Our Founders created us thinking that informed, Christian voters would keep the politicians in line. That failed to happen and thus, we have a $32 trillion national debt. Our money is going to foreign governments, many who hate us and all that is unConstitutional. Most of the big spending bills have been enacted to bail out cronies of controlling politicians. I wish to hell Americans would wake up, get off their lazy asses, get educated and do the best their intelligence will allow. Capitalism always has it’s ups and downs because that’s the way humans are (greed almost always overcomes common sense, strategic thinking and decency). When voters allow politicians (who are NEVER held accountable) to miss spend our tax dollars we wind up in the financial mess we are now in. It’s time to STOP SPENDING ANY OF OUR MONEY ON ANYTHING BUT DEFENSE OF OUR COUNTRY. The rest of the financial mess must be straightened out by the individual states. The federal government has no authority to “bail out states” who have been mismanaged, so, once again iour country’s financial well being rests on the shoulders of voters. I will add one more comment, NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO VOTE UNLESS THEY ARE 30 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND PAYS DIRECT TAX, otherwise they have “no skin” in the game and will want someone elses money. WELFARE SHOULD BE A DIRTY WORD!!
Beautiful !!!!
It should be noted that the debt has continuously grown, regardless of whom is in office since Eisenhower in 1957.
Over the last decade, we have seen the rise of an exposed Uniparty, who appear to have the same interests in growing government, degradation of American culture and spending wildly, without concern for the American citizen.
Perhaps it’s time we look past party politics and unite in Independence. Leave the party system… stop funding party candidates.
