With the election around the corner people are constantly throwing around economic statistics particularly around the nation debt, deficit and federal government spending. I got tired of hearing misrepresentations of the statistics, so I composed these two charts. The first chart shows national debt, deficit, and spending 2003-2012. The second shows the change of each of these categories. The intention of this chart is not to support any political party. The point of the charts is to provide the true statistics.
