A lot of this discussion about debt is ultimately to free up space for jobs to be created. It's not happening. People are still out of work. Here's the chart of the President's economic record. This is based on government information, the Treasury Department, U.S. Bureau Of Labor Stats unemployment 7.3% on Inauguration Day, up to 9.2%. with latest report, up 26%. You see the debt figures up 35%. SEC. GEITHNER: David, let me just say, that's a ridiculous table. (NBCs Meet The Press, 7/10/11)
