President Bush may have been the first president to bring us to a $3 trillion budget, but his successor seems well on his way to beating that record.  The national debt already tops $10 trillion - which amounts to more than $30,000 per citizen - and the next budget will add to it significantly:

The government's yearly shortfall would equal 12.3 percent of the nation's annual economic output. Such a percentage has not been seen since the end of World War II, when the deficit came to 21.5 percent of GDP.
