Obama on track to double national debt

EW YORK – President Obama is on track to double the national debt by the end of his eight years in office.

 

Currently at $19.4 trillion, the debt is projected to hit $20 trillion by Inauguration Day 2016, up from $10.6 trillion when Obama entered the White House on Jan. 20, 2009.
