Every day, the U.S. government takes in $6 billion and spends $10 billion. This means that every day the federal government spends $4 billion more dollars than it has.
The real unemployment rate is a jaw-dropping 11 percent.
Every fifth man you pass on your way to work is now out of work.
College graduates are now 34% less likely to find a job under Obama than they were under President George W. Bush.
Every seventh person you pass on the sidewalk now relies on food stamps.
The ravages of the Obama economy now mean that more Americans live under the federal poverty line than at any time in U.S. history since records have been kept.
Under President Barack Obama, every fifth child in America now lives in poverty.
The whole article is here. It's not partisan, it's not right-leaning, it's not made up stuff. This is the truth about government the way it is today. In this new year, we can hope that things get better, but hope isn't a plan.

What people like you seem to forget or choose to ignore it was under President Bush that we incurred these debts, not Obama. Our current financial state is the direct result of Reganomics, and a witch hunt in the middle east which we sunk billions of dollars in. Do you happen to remember that our country was in the financial green zone before Bush was in office? Obama may not be perfect, but the "Obama economy" you are blaming him for is all because of George W. Bush. Obama has spent the last 4 years trying to undo the 8 years of damage Bush did. You don't have to like Obama but blaming him isn't going to fix our country's problems, it will only serve to distract us from the real issues.
