To the surprise of absolutely no one, the nation's debt has skyrocketed during President Barack Obama's tenure. In a little over five and a half years, the Obama administration has added more than $7 trillion to the total, a number that represents more debt accumulation than the administrations of George Washington through Bill Clinton combined. At the close of business on July 31, the nation's debt was $17.6 trillion, with $7.06 trillion of it accumulated since Obama was inaugurated in 2009.
