USA: Metrics for a presidential report card

Shortly after the election I saw a cartoon on Facebook titled "Let's Get A Baseline". It listed various prices for common goods and other assorted statistics. I looked up a few, and those were incorrect.

A sort of "presidential report card" did seem like a neat idea to me. Something to be reviewed every January 20th. Perhaps in a chart that would make facts speak for themselves in social media.

Are there any magazines or news sources that already do this? Something like The Economist?

These are metrics I would like to see in such a chart, perhaps a bar graph.

Please suggest others that you think ordinary voters would care about

1. National debt

2. Inflation

3. Unemployment

4. The GDP

5. The literacy rate

6. National match scores ( compared globally )

7. The poverty rate

8. Administration members indicted

9. Average price of gas

10. Average yearly salary

11. Average retirement savings
