Public debt since Pelosi became speaker went from $4,898,816,127,068.69 to $9,385,079,979,612.71. All spending measures must start in the House of Representatives. Pelosi is responsible for increasing the public debt over 91.5%. If Boehner doesn't fix this overspending problem soon, he'll have a new job too.
