@stux And that's 1 trillion more since Trump took office. Yikes! It's worse then I recall.
The national debt has increased by approximately $1.78 trillion since January 20, 2025.
* National Debt on January 20, 2025: Approximately $36.22 trillion
* Current National Debt (October 23, 2025): Approximately $38.00 trillion -

@stux given how money *actually* works (see Prof Steve Keen), you should think of it more as $38T injected into the economy/economic activity

@stux Think of it as the amount of US Treasury bonds issued, including what's held by our Social Security Administration as the supposed "trust fund".
