Obama’s Five Trillion Dollar Lie

Why isn't the U.S. economy in a depression right now?  

The number one reason is because the federal government has stolen more than five trillion dollars from future generations since Barack Obama was elected and has used that money to pump up our grossly inflated standard of living.

Whether the federal government spends money wisely or foolishly, the truth is that the vast majority of it still ends up in the pockets of the American people who then use it to buy the things they need for their daily lives.

If the U.S. government had not borrowed and spent an extra five trillion dollars that we did not have over the past several years, we would be in the middle of a rip-roaring economic depression right now.  So any talk that Barack Obama is “improving the economy” is a total farce.  It is a five trillion dollar lie.

The reality is that Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress have been stealing trillions of dollars from future generations in order to make things tolerable in the present.  If the federal government adopted a balanced budget next year, the debt-fueled prosperity that we are currently enjoying would start disappearing very rapidly and all hell would break loose in America.

At this point, the U.S. national debt is over 15.7 trillion dollars.


When Ronald Reagan took office it was less than a trillion dollars.

If you were to divide the national debt up equally, it would come to more than $50,000 for every man, woman and child in the United States.

Let's JUDGE the President

Most Americans judge a President based on his promises and his results. They measure the success of the nation in part by the question Ronald Reagan asked voters in 1980. Reagan simply said,“Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

For Barack Obama,this question is deadly. Obama promised big results,but he has failed to deliver. For example,look at these four promises and his results.

Obama’s 825 billion dollar stimulus failed to keep unemployment below 8 percent as Obama promised. Since President Obama’s stimulus passed,America has lost 1.1 million jobs. If you count people who have become discouraged and are no longer seeking jobs,some economists believe that real unemployment rate is above twenty percent.


Obama called his health care package one of his major accomplishments. He told CBS’Steve Kroft he was “putting in place a system in which we’re going to start lowering health care costs.”Yet it has failed to make health insurance more affordable. According to the fact watchdog website FactCheck.org,ObamaCare is actually making health care “less affordable.”Workers paid an average of $132 more for family coverage just this year.

Obama predicted his investments in green energy would create 5 million jobs,but the Wall Street Journal reports:“The green jobs subsidy story gets more embarrassing by the day. Three years ago President Obama promised that by the end of the decade,America would have five million green jobs,but so far,some $90 billion in government spending has delivered very few.”
