Utopia Talk / Politics / US national debt hits $39 trillion

Rugian rank	Tue May 26 13:26:17 I'm so glad that Republicans decided to give tax breaks to boomer retirees and are now considering Trump's proposed 44% increase to military spending. We're so fucked as a country.

jergul rank	Tue May 26 18:31:18 I do not doubt, but that is either old news or preemptive news. The release dates are march and june for that kind of data.
Rugian rank	Tue May 26 22:01:00 Jergul You realize the debt balance is updated daily, right? It actually briefly hit $39 trillion right before Tax Day, at which point it dropped back below that number. It returned to $39 on May 18.
jergul rank	Wed May 27 12:17:14 My bad. I read national debt to mean public debt (excluding intragovernmental stuff of course). The fed publishes those figures quarterly. It includes local and state debt to give a number compatible with how public debt is calculated internationally.
