Terry Jeffrey’s national debt analogies just keep getting more absurd and arcane. Here are a few of his previous, pithy, conservative-blogger-quotable comparisons:
- Obama Added More to National Debt in First 19 Months Than All Presidents from Washington Through Reagan Combined, Says Gov’t Data
- 111th Congress Added More Debt Than First 100 Congresses Combined: $10,429 Per Person in U.S.
- U.S. Debt Jumped $72 Billion Same Day U.S. House Voted to Cut Spending $6 Billion
- U.S. Must Borrow Another $5,240 Per Household Just to Fund Gov’t at Current Level Through Sept. 30
- Uncle Sam’s Latest Line of Credit: $1,888,174,000,000.00 Spent Out of $1,900,000,000,000.00
- Gov’t Has Borrowed $803.73 Per U.S. Household Since GOP Majority Enacted Its First Spending Bill Last Month
Now comes this arcane bit of number-crunching from Jeffrey in an Aug. 8 article: “Obama Increased Inflation-Adjusted Debt More in 4 Days Than U.S. Did Through Entire 1950,” later adjusted to “Obama Increased Debt More in 4 Days Than Truman and Eisenhower Did in 10 Years.”
