  8. "US national debt is now bigger than the economy for first time since World War II"

    independent.co.uk/news/world/a

    Yeah, but Democrats aren't in power, so now is not the time to think about the national debt.

  9. The U.S. national debt crossed 100% of GDP this week. The coverage got it wrong in both directions. The $39 trillion gross figure overstates the immediate problem. The "it's just the government owing itself" dismissal understates the long-term one. The Fed's SOMA holdings and the Social Security trust funds are fundamentally different obligations and the standard presentation muddles both.

  14. US Treasury is now accepting Pay Pal and Venmo donations to pay down the national debt. A program of voluntary donations was created in 1961.
    Obviously, donations amount to less than a drop in a bucket. Trump and a republican congress spend like drunken sailors, adding $225 TRILLION to our debt in one year.
    "Donations average roughly $120,000 a month against a $39 trillion total. Interest payments alone run near $88 billion a month, dwarfing any voluntary inflow."

  20. Wow. The #trump administration just dropped their budget wishlist to #Congress. Trump wants to add nearly $7 trillion to the $39 trillion national debt with his new military budget.

    The White House detailed a military funding hike of more than 40 percent to an eye watering 1.5 Trillion dollars.

    White House is also seeking a 10 percent cut to nondefense spending, with a proposed reduction of $73 billion from federal programs like Medicare, food stamps, day care subsidies, and to zero out funding for minority-owned businesses.

    All war, all white, fuck everyone else, apparently. At least the republicans are being honest about what they’ve always been. Capitalist childraping racists who worship at the alter of Mammon.

  25. #TorstenSlok, chief economist, Apollo Global Management: For every five dollars the US #government receives in #tax revenue, one dollar is spent on servicing the #nationaldebt.

  26. "Pension funds and life assurance funds are critically dependent upon the existence of the UK government's national debt because it is the safest form of savings available to these funds who save for the long term.
    So you, probably, have hung your future security on the back of the UK government debt, whether you know it or not. Without that national debt, savings and finances in this country would not work."

  29. WASHINGTON (AP) — The national debt surpassed a record $39 trillion on Wednesday, a milestone that comes just weeks into the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran. The unprecedented figure highlights competing administration priorities, from passing a massive tax law and boosting defense spending and immigration enforcement to chipping away at the debt itself — the latter of which Donald Trump promised to do as both a candidate and as president. The Government Accountability Office outlines some of the impact of rising government debt on Americans — including higher borrowing costs for things like mortgages and cars, lower wages from businesses having less money available to invest, and more expensive goods and services. #NationalDebt #economy #debt #RepublicansDidThis #TrumpRegime
