The United States took 193 years — from Washington’s inauguration through Reagan’s first term — to rack up its first trillion dollars of national debt. The last trillion? Mid-March to mid-August. Five months. The whole pile doubled from $20 trillion to $40 trillion in about a decade, and your government is adding roughly $6 billion to it every single day. The interest alone will top $1 trillion this fiscal year — more than the entire defense budget — and with the Fed eyeing a rate hike next week, that bill is about to get heavier.
