Guess what the national debt was in 2008

2008 is NOT ancient history.  If you're over 40 you were reasonably adult in 2008.  It's not like that was a century ago, eh?

In 2008 the U.S. national debt was just over ten trillion dollars.  Some conservatives saw the government spending way more than it took in, year after year, and warned:

This is dangerous and possibly fatal.  Anyone of at least average intelligence knows continually increasing debt cannot end well!  And the solution is obvious: stop spending more than you take in!

But of course no one in government paid any attention...because they wanted to keep spending billions on...stuff they wanted, stuff that would buy votes from morons.  If they spent more den duh total money duh gummint took in each year, so what?  "We kin spend as much as we want, cuz we iz duh rulers!  So SHUT UP!"

Today--just 18 years later--the national debt is...larger.  If you pay attention to what's actually happening, you know how much it is today.  So tell us.  Show your kids you're not just a moronic Democrat by telling 'em how much debt the U.S. has added in just 18 years. 

We're now $39 TRILLION in debt, adding debt at almost $7 BILLION every day.

Thanks to corrupt, moronic congresswhores, the national debt has almost quadrupled in just 18 years.  Government spending has added over $29 TRILLION to the debt in that time.

If this keeps up, we can expect...Oh, sorry!  Can't chat any longer, cuz that fabulously funny Jimmy Kimmel is on!  Can't miss him, eh?  Priorities, citizen.
