I remember people freaking out when it was only 3 trillion.

$31 trillion in debt is criminal.

This is why any and all threats to the primacy of the US Dollar in all global markets must be destroyed before they can arise.

This is the most recent chart I can find, through 2021.
Today's debt is $31 trillion while GDP is circa $23 trillion.
That ratio is 135%, the highest in history.

What a headline. “For the first time in history”

Gee when it was 4 trillion it was for the first time in history. It is not like it has ever decreased since then. And there will never be second times. It is just going to go kaboom and that will be it.

Stocks roaring up the last two days.

All the while, the US economy continues to implode, gas prices on the rise (despite WH claims otherwise), OPEC talking cuts from 1M to 2M barrels a day in a counter move to price cap oil via the US/UK/NATO/EU, EU still economically imploding, UK economically imploding, etc., etc., etc.

Did I say that the stocks have been roaring up the last two days? /s

This chart goes all the way back to Revolutionary War era, but does not include the debt-explosion since 2020:

While it seems like it’s just a number, the real impact of the debt is the interest payments. Now, it’s about $400 billion per year, or 7% of the total budget. With rising interest rates, and more debt added each year, in 10 years the interest on the debt will be more than a trillion dollars per year. That means that if all new government spending was balanced by tax revenues, we will still have a trillion dollar deficit.

National debt of Russia, 410 billion. … 1.3-% of ours. And now you know why western bankers despise Putin. Nations willing to be leaders up with debt make them very happy. All wars are about money… every single one.
