National Debt Tops $22 Trillion

“The U.S.’s financial burden is growing despite a strong economy,” Bloomberg reports.

“Total public debt climbed to more than $22 trillion as of Feb. 11, according to a Treasury Department report Tuesday.”

USA Today: “The national debt has been rising at a faster rate following the passage of President Trump’s $1.5 trillion tax-cut package a little more than a year ago and as the result of congressional efforts to increase spending on domestic and military programs. The nation has added more than $1 trillion in debt in the last 11 months alone.”
