2006 YTD deficit

Public Debt

It appears that the site I was quoting is confusing the rise in the debt limit with the actual rise in debt.

Going to the US Treasury site:

http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdhisms.htm

Comparing April 2006 with April 2005, the actual debt has increased from 7,704,041 (million) to 8,262,718 (million).

This would be an increase of 558677 (million). Thats only 1.53 billion per day.

Whew, that's much better. I should be able to sleep like a baby now.

Party on!!
