The portion of debt held by the American public would jump $19 trillion, to $43.6 trillion, over the 10 years.

So it would really increase by at least $38 trillion. These projections are always off by a factor of two.

Does anyone else have zero confidence that Republicans in the House will stop this?

The federal debt as a share of US gross domestic product (GDP) would swell to a record 110% by 2033, up from 98% this year

The author's numbers are a little off. According to Trading Economics, the US debt-to-GDP ratio is currently at 129%.

Of all the countries in world, the mighty United States has the 12th worst debt-GDP ratio.

By the way, here are the debt/GDP levels of other notable countries:

Japan: 262%
Venezuela: 241%
US: 129%
EU Total: 88%
China: 77%
Germany: 69%
Switzerland: 41%
Russia: 18%

The only comfort is that China and/or Russia will have nuked us long before then.

Murder of a once great nation by a sleazy pedophile who sold his soul and his nation for Chinese money.

He was abbeted by a gaggle of brainless fools.

Let’s make Voting Day truly a day. Not a month.
