- $16 Trillion National Debt (the clock is ticking; we are adding $3 billion per day)
- 1.7% GDP Growth (weakest recession recovery since the Great Depression)
- 104 Rounds of Golf (and counting)
- $3.76 Average price of GAS in US
- 1,238+Days since Democrats passed a budget (last budget passed by the majority Democratic party in the Senate was 4/29/2009. Obama's budget was defeated 99-0.)

- Record 46mm Americans on Food Stamps (15% of Population, or more than 1 in 7 Americans. Sad.)
