USAs statsgjeld har rundet 18.000 milliarder dollar, og er dermed på 103 prosent av BNP. Den sto på noe under 11.000 milliarder da Obama tiltrådte. Gjelden har altså steget med 70 % under hans periode.

Total US Debt Rises Over $18 Trillion; Up 70% Under Barack Obama

Last week, total US debt was a meager $17,963,753,617,957.26. Two days later, as updated today, on Black Friday, total outstanding US public debt just hit a new historic level which probably would be better associated with a red color: as of the last work day of November, total US public debt just surpassed $18 trillion for the first time.

It also means that total US debt to nominal GDP as of Sept 30, which was $17.555 trillion, is now 103%.

It also means that total US debt has increased by 70% under Obama, from $10.625 trillion on January 21, 2009 to $18.005 trillion most recently.
