In the midst of a federal government shutdown, the U.S. government’s gross national debt surpassed $38 trillion Wednesday, a record number that highlights the accelerating accumulation of debt on America’s balance sheet.
It’s also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic — the U.S. hit $37 trillion in gross national debt in August this year.
The $38 trillion update is found in the latest Treasury Department report, which logs the nation’s daily finances.
Could imagine having to listen to Kamala’s laugh though. I mean seriously. It was so bad. Plus look at this great new ballroom. And the airplane from Qatar, totally for free. And Qatar gets a military base in the US. And all the bailouts for foreign countries. While Americans go broke. And trying to start a war…while crying about the model peace prize. Just so much winning going on here.
