Debt: 2017: https://www.statista.com/statistics/187867/public-debt-of-the-united-states-since-1990/


The attached chart you provided shows that the National debt increased from around $8T- 19T in Obama's 8 years in office doubling the previous total existing national debt. It shows about a $1.5T increase for Trump. After Trump signed the last budget he stated it could be the last budget he will sign with that much pork. We'll see.

I agree that the national debt does matter since the higher the interest
rate the more interest paid back to a point until the principle can't be paid back. The reason interest rates have been so low for so long is the central banks don't want to kill the gift that keeps on giving--yet











Let's do the math.

11 trillion in 8 years.
1.5 trillion in 1 year.

Class?
