This is what Obama called the "most productive Congress in generations<http://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2010/12/24/media-parrot-obamas-claim-most-productive-congress-generations>." It is true. They produced the most debt than any other Congress in history, thanks to the Pelosi-Reid regime. *(CNSNews.com<http://cnsnews.com/news/article/final-tab-pelosi-s-speakership-534-trill> )* - In the 1,461 days that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) served as speaker of the House, the *national debt increased by a total of $5.343 trillion*($5,343,452,800,321.37) or *$3.66 billion per day *($3.657,394,113.84), according to official debt numbers <http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=np> published by the U.S. Treasury. Pelosi was the 52nd speaker of the House. During her tenure, *she amassed more debt than the first 49 speakers combined*. The total national debt did not climb above $5.343 trillion (the amount amassed during Pelosi’s four years as speaker) until Feb. 26, 1997, when Rep. Newt Gingrich (R.-Ga.) was serving as the nation’s 50th House speaker. When Pelosi was sworn in on Jan. 4, 2007<http://clerk.house.gov/art_history/house_history/speakers.html>, the *national debt stood at $8,670,596,242,973.04*. At the close of business on Jan. 4, 2011, her last full day in the speakership, it stood at * 14,014,049,043,294.41*--an increase of *$5,343,452,800,321.37*. Pelosi served as speaker for four full years, including one leap year, making her time in that office 1,461 days. On average, the federal government added $3.66 billion ($3,657,394,113.84) in new debt for each of those days. This is what President Obama calls 'progress.'
