How Will Obama Pay Back The $5 Trillion In Debt He Has Added To The U.S. Deficit


Barack Obama

Being President of the United States of America comes with many responsibilities, such as setting the political agenda for the country and determining aspects of the national budget. As has been widely reported, U.S. President Barack Obama added $5 trillion dollars to America's national deficit, with wild spending that has not panned out or fixed the economic crisis.

The question remains, how will President Obama repay the $5 trillion dollars. His proposals for doing so, have been met with sharp criticism by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and economists alike, stating his plans do not add up and will not reduce the deficit. It was so easy to spend that money, but paying it back is another story via a debt Americans will be saddled with for generations.
