If you look at the debt clock now, there are roughly 1.581 trillion treasury notes increasing at $1,000/second. I have a hunch that number is going to stop at $1.7 trillion Treasury Dollars (for obvious reasons).

That means we're currently $11.9 billion treasury dollars away.

At $1,000/second (11.9b/$1,000/second = 11.9 million seconds

/60 = 198,000 minutes

/60 = 3,305 hours

/24 = 137 days

137 days from now is May 5th, 2024.

Looked it up, that's Karl Marx's birthday. Interesting.

Since we're already way past 1.581 trillion and on our way to 1.582, I suspect it will be a few days before that. Would be curious what has happened in history on the days leading up to that. Trump said we'd take everything back by, I believe, March. But this is interesting nonetheless.
