I took a look at the US national debt.
I used a stop watch to time how long it took to add $1,000,000 to the national debt.
31 seconds.
That is $2,000,000 added to the national debt every minute.
$120 million every hour.
$1.4 billion every day.
$500 billion every year -- and that is JUST the interest on the debt. It does not factor in ADDITIONAL SPENDING beyond that.
And with the higher interest rates ... it is accelerating.
McCarthy made a "deal" to eliminate the debt ceiling, which means no more need to get "approval" (i.e. rubber stamp) to spend unlimited money.
Who even owns this debt?
