(Worthy News) – The national debt hit $19 trillion for the first time ever on Friday, and came in at $19.012 trillion.
No tags for this post.It took a little more than 13 months for the debt to climb by $1 trillion. The national debt hit $18 trillion on Dec. 15, 2014.
That’s a slightly stepped-up pace compared to the last few $1 trillion mileposts. It took about 14 months for the debt to climb from $17 trillion to $18 trillion, and about the same amount of time to go from $16 trillion to $17 trillion. [ Source ]
