According the the fed's own figures the debt has risen almost $500 billion in the last 9 months

I looked here.

Public debt, that's what the Feds actually borrow, rose from $4,601,238,726,062.64 on 9/30/2005 to $4,797,203,565,138.78 on 6/30/2006. An increase of $195,964,839,079.14 in 274 days. $715,200,142 a day. Not quite $2 trillion a day.

Your right, it's not 2 Trillion a day because I said approx. 2 Billion a day.......as far as your other assertion, every time I see the national debt referenced the figure is always in the 8T+ range not what you stated and even the fed's own debt charts show an increase of almost 500B in the last nine months so it's unclear what your point is here.....if there is one.
