$12 Trillion of Difference
FEB 28, 2011, VOL. 16, NO. 23    • BY STEPHEN F. HAYES
     
In 1968, George Wallace groused, “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between the Republicans and Democrats.” No one would say that anymore. Today, the difference between the parties is worth $12 trillion.

....

When Obama was elected, the public debt totaled $6.3 trillion. By the end of his first term, it will have nearly doubled, to $11.9 trillion.
