What the National Debt Means for Montanans
The spending taking place in Washington, D.C. has reached unprecedented heights.
Our national debt, as of June 30, was $11,545,275,346,431
($11 trillion and “change”).
Your share and the share of every other Montanan: $37,609.23
Since the beginning of the Democrat-run Congress on January 3, 2007, the national debt has grown $2.9 trillion.
Your share and the share of every other Montanan: $9,342.83.
Since President Obama took office the national debt has grown by $918 billion.
Your share and the share of every other Montanan: $2,991.72
In the month of June, the national debt increased by $223.7 billion. Spending that much in one month is the same as spending $7.5 billion a day, $310.7 million an hour, $5.2 million a minute, or $86,295 a second.
As of the end of April, the United States owed China $763.5 billion, with over $36.1 billion of that occurring in this year alone. We owe Japan $685.9 billion. To oil exporting nations like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Kuwait, the U.S. has a debt of $189.5 billion.
And now, the Democrat's budget adds more debt than all other Presidents in our country’s history – from George Washington to George W. Bush – combined.
Many Montanans are outraged at the dangerously irresponsible spending in Washington, D.C. Some are taking to the streets to voice their concern. Here's a video from some of the comments I gathered at the Montana TEA Parties:
