Think of the US national debt as the Federal Governments credit card

Compare it to your plastic debt.

What would your credit score look like with this type of debt and acceleration?

Opps…

The U.S. national debt exceeded $35 trillion for the first-time last Monday. It first exceeded $34 trillion 209 days ago.

Adding another trillion to the debt in 209 days is a slightly slower pace than previous trillions. It took 111 days to go from $33 trillion to $34 trillion, and 93 days to go from $32 trillion to $33 trillion.

It took 192 years, from 1789 to 1981, to accumulate the first trillion dollars of national debt.
