    Two million-private sector jobs have been lost.

    Unemployment jumped from 7.8 to 9.2 percent with a simply terrible 2011 first-quarter economic growth rate of just 0.4 percent.

    A record 1 in 7 Americans is on food stamps.

    Gasoline prices more than doubled, from $1.83 to $3.74 per gallon.

    National debt increased 35 percent, to $14.5 trillion, or $137,000 for each taxpayer.

    National unfunded liabilities increased 47 percent, to $114.9 trillion, or a cool $1 million for each taxpayer (and this does not yet include Obamacare).

    America is on the verge of losing its AAA credit rating.
