by

From CNS News:

  • 111th Congress, Democrat controlled, has accumulated more new debt–$3.22 trillion than the first 100 Congresses combined
  • 111th Congress, Democrat controlled, has given each American $10,429.64 in new debt.
  • Each American is now in debt to the tune of $44,886.57 for the total national debt of $13.859 trillion.
  • 111th Congress, Democrat controlled, has set the record as the most debt-accumulating Congress in U.S. history.
  • During the Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) tenure as speaker, which commenced on Jan. 4, 2007, the federal government has run up $5.177 trillion in new debt. That is about equal to the total debt the federal government accumulated in the first 120 years of the nation’s existence.
