40 trillion so far!
It's not so bad considering it's the lowest it's ever going to be!
Now now let's be fair, the feds could always default on the debt. Don't get me wrong this would almost certainly dissolve the United States, but if someone was brain dead enough they could.
So anyone want to make a bet on whether the Allfather has gorged me with the axe of prophecy?
I’m glad Republicans are in charge so this doesn’t matter at all /s
There are 989 billionaires. One of them is a trillionaire.
I think we could tax billionaires out of existence and nearly settle the debt in one fell swoop.
With the amount of money that Elon Musk is worth, you could buy every NBA, NFL, MLS, NHL, MLB team in the US with enough leftover to also buy the top 20 European soccer teams.
Shhhhh! We can't talk about the national debt until a D is in charge.

What do you imagine it's going to be when he leaves office?
50 and it will hamstring the president for the next 2-3 decades
It was 20T in 2017, so I'm guessing between 40 and 50 trillion.
Trump is GOP
Wasn't it 7 when he started ?
The first trillion is the hardest one to lose.
