    According to Treasury Direct (with two days to go), current debt stands at $20,540,360,356,857.05

    Don't think we are going to make $21 trillion.

    Just as I said.

    Nope. But we're going to catch up next year.

    My bet: Dec 22 shutdown, Dec 24 midnight tax bill votes, all kinds of changes to everything slipped in that weren't in either chamber's bill. Probably some big distraction at the same time so that eyes are not on Congress.

    20,669,079,408,408 just jumped 177 billion. No more debt ceilings to slow us down for awhile. We should be cruising past 21 trillion in the next couple weeks.

    That would require a deficit of about $1.3 trillion for this year. $21.5 is more likely.

    Absent a recession, that's probably about right, but I expect we'll be in recession by Q4.

    Remember that the amount the public debt goes up is almost double the deficit. We'll hit 22 trillion this year, easily.

    Are you trying to get people interested in interest?

    It's awfully hard to interest people in interest, unless they can get some of it.

    Trump needs to run $2T deficits now just to keep up with the law of diminishing returns. Anything less is outside of the historical debt and deficit trend lines and actually shows the slow collapse of the system underway.

    The Democrats like to use it when they, just to name one example, say they cut the budget when all they did was reduce spending increases below the projected spending increases. The Fed has used logic very similar to that to explain why the same inflation which robs our salaries and our savings of value is good for us. And the Zippy Group has used it to explain that the U.S. gold standard was a pegging of the value of the dollar to gold, when in fact it was using gold as dollars.

    Whoa, big jump. Just about to hit 21 trillion. 20,957,314,831,621

    That's 460 billion since we re-suspended the debt ceiling last month.

    All I know is we have some catching up to do. We were basically borrowing a trillion a year, we should've hit 21 trillion 3 months ago but the debt ceiling messed us up. But we've got clear sailing for awhile, we should be able to hit 22 trillion by the end of the year.

    US National Debt Hits $21 Trillion
    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-...ts-21-trillion

    1776 > 1984

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.
