The '''Obama administration deficit spending''' is government deficit spending which is occurring at unprecedented levels.  The [[Obama administration fiscal policy]] is burying Americans under a mountain of debt. Persistent deficit financing, along with tax increases in hard economic times, are known job killers that stifle growth and choke job creation, even according to [[Keynesian]] economic theory.<br><br>

Approximately one-third of the [[National debt]], or virtually all that [[President Obama]] and [[Congress]]ional [[Democrat]]s added to the existing debt, is now held by foreign investors. Two failed Stimulus packages in the past three years from the Democratic Congress were an incredible waste of resources for what the President later admitted were non-existent "shovel ready" jobs at a time they were needed for the private sector to create jobs. Rather, a large foreign debt was created which must be repaid before any benefit ever trickle's down to working families.
