FYI, http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/terence-p-jeffrey/federal-debt-climbs-105464794162691-2016

During President Barack Obama's time in office the federal debt has increased by $9,349,949,902,134.72-rising from $10,626,877,048,913.08 on Jan. 20, 2009, the day of Obama's inauguration, to $19,976,826,951,047.80 on the last day of 2016.

That equals $78,553.84 for each of the 119,026,000 households in the country as of September.

    Why just have 1 or 2 kings or queens when you can have 12 or 13 Presidents instead! Just look at the Rotunda at the Capitol Dome! Soon he/she will be coming to claim to be g-d like!

    In the central group of the fresco, Brumidi depicted George Washington rising to the heavens in glory, flanked by female figures representing Liberty and Victory/Fame. A rainbow arches at his feet, and thirteen maidens symbolizing the original states flank the three central figures. (The word "apotheosis" in the title means literally the raising of a person to the rank of a god, or the glorification of a person as an ideal; George Washington was honored as a national icon in the nineteenth century.)
