That’s just the Federal debt! You throw in state and local debt and that number climbs to north of $40 trillion!

Not even CLOSE. Add a ‘1’ to the front and maybe another few TRILLION via the illegal, unconstitutional, Ponzi schemes known as SS\MediXYZ.

How much was added when ‘student loans’ were Federalized? After O’Care?

Don't forget the additional "missing" $21 trillion discovered by Dr. Mark Skidmore of Michigan State University, missing from the DoD and HUD, making the debt actually over $40 trillion.

The entire accounting apparatus of the US government is opaque and fraudulent.
