As noted by Wolf Street, ‘The total US national debt spiked by $1.0 trillion in 15 weeks since September 15, to $34.0 trillion, according to the Treasury Department’s figures this afternoon. In the seven months since the debt ceiling was lifted, the national debt spiked by $2.5 trillion. Since the beginning of 2016, the total debt has spiked by $15 trillion, or by 80%! This stuff is just breathtaking.’
Furthermore, this behemoth-sized debt equals roughly the sum of the value of China, Germany, Japan, India, United Kingdom’s economies combined, according to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
Moreover, this amount of accumulated debt is sufficient enough to pay for a four-year degree for each graduating high school student for the next 106 years, PGP Foundation also noted.
On top of this, the U.S. is forced to continuously pay increasing interest payments on this debt, to the tune of $1.05 Trillion and climbing fast.
Lena Petrova, CPA, provides more insights as to what this means for Americans, and how this debt is divided up.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[26] Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts. [27] If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee? Proverbs 22:26-27
But Americans could care less and are more preoccupied with everything else, as they bemoan and groan about inflation, real wages not keeping up, and so on; as they continue to vote for thieves and liars each election cycle, who continue to write blank checks and open up new credit cards, never sticking to a single budget, and forcing the obedient sheeple to pay for it; as the Federal Reserve continues to keep the money printer hot.
When factoring in everything, the US Debt Clock purports that total U.S. Debt is well above $97,300,000,000,000. Give it a little more time and that number will reach an unfathomable $100 trillion! Our minds cannot begin to even grasp just how much money that is.
Truly we are a nation of thieves.
The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.
Psalm 37:21
As the Federal Reserve moves to cut interest rates, expect inflation to rocket back up even higher. The Fed’s numbers are fake, we know that, and so whatever nonsense this publish later this year, don’t believe it.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Most Americans don’t care because along with being wicked and Godless including fake christians, they care more about who’s going to win the Super Toilet Bowl and rotting their brains in front of the tell-lies-vision.
Maxing out their credit cards on shopping sprees buying stuff they don’t need some of it they don’t even want they just buy for the thrill of it.
Playing video games and Pokemon, grown adults ages 25 to 65 going to comic cons dressed up in costumes like children, participating in left vs. right political soap operas, and getting ready for Valentines Day – a holiday that has been trashed with corporate greed, sex perversion, and fake love like crushes right after Super Potty Bowl!
God please help me and the rest of my true brethren including Jacob, please help and protect us and don’t forget about us, don’t forget about me Lord, I ask You for Your mercy and grace and I ask for forgiveness for my weaknesses and struggles.
Lord Jesus, I look so forward to being part of Your Bride, that is one thing I really desire.
Amen.
I do care about all of this going on and how this country is in the crapper and headed for destruction. I watch football, but don’t care who wins and I’m fully aware of what’s going on, I see what’s put on commercials and it tells more about where this country is, the dump. All the time my afternoon study of God’s word comes first, then I watch or watch some hockey or racing. I don’t watch any other TV at all or even the fake news.
It’s what ya put first in life, if God is FIRST and foremost, then watching a little football or racing or hockey isn’t going to hurt you, besides what do ya watch on the internet’ that’s any different then a football game?!
Andrew, I pray also for everything you said in your last paragraph! I’m waiting for my Redemption to get out of this dead flesh and be with the Lord!!!
David, I get what you’re saying, but I recommend asking the Lord to help you completely getting that out of your life although you don’t idolize it, but it’s still a slippery slope: you got all the commercials, the alcohol, the cheerleaders dressed like whores, and so on.
12) All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
1 Corinthians 6:12
Now, tossing a football with your kids in the backyard or a park that’s different there’s nothing wrong with that; but it’s this bread and circus a distraction by design as well as all the sorcery that comes out of the half-time show for example, I’ve seen and heard about fans (idolaters) who become violent and aggressive when their team loses, it’s senseless and sinful.
Just some thoughts, David.
Thanks, ask my wife, I point out what’s wrong and against the Bible when I watch it and the booze, don’t care, I do not drink anyway and as for cheerleaders I look the other way. Yes I do, even on YouTube videos, that I have to beat down I admit. The night games, I watch about 5 to 10 min, then goto bed and most times forget to see who won the next day. I never watch those halftime’s they are disgusting. I’m 62 yrs old and have health issues and don’t get out, but I know what my priorities are at this stage of life.
Now my fav is the MotorTrend channel, it’s all about overhauling cars, why? because God gave me the skills to repair cars and I like to build RC cars, without these things there isn’t much for a handicapped man to due.
But I will take note of what ya told me and be cautious; except for my wife and stepson, I have no one to talk to heart to heart so to speak or talk about cars .
I had to quite RC racing because of how people are and act, dirty talking and beer drinking, it’s sad how people are these days. I wasn’t the best but wasn’t the worst, I did well enough to make the podium at the races(top 3 places)most of the time, I miss it; racing with scale race cars, which can be set-up like a full size car, not the walmart rc cars; these cars are built from kits, oil filled shocks, different spring rates and full caster, camber and toe as a real car and powered by Nitro, gas or electric, have raced them on oval, dirt and asphalt and road courses, dirt and asphalt, 2wd and 4wd. Radio controlled car racing, I believe God gave me to get me off drugs and booze and to Him.
Just a little background about this old man. Thanks for listening to me babble
If your in the Body of Christ your in my prayers!
No worries David, it wasn’t a rebuke it was just a be on guard advisory.
That’s amazing your skills with cars and RC cars, very talented of you, I wish I had those skills and somebody to teach me.
I’m sorry about your disability, I pray God helps you and even heals you.
I grew up without a father, I’m from the single/divorced parent raised kid party line. Worse yet: my ex-dad is a Muslim from Syria, I’m Dutch with Mexican and Spanish as well.
I’m glad you’re open to warnings, you’re very humble doing that.
I would love to teach ya.

forget rc racing……..bring back……..SLOT CARS!!! THE ULTIMATE MALE OBSESSIONS. I used to do this a lot and would continue but there is a dearth of tracks. Used to see guys sitting around the tracks at tables with tool boxes, etc working feverishly to discover tricks that would make their cars go faster. then you see the wives standing against the walls behind them. LOL. The hobby was CONTAGIOUS and FUN, half the fun was just working on the cars, trying to get an edge on the competition. Only way wives and girlfriends could see their guys was to accompany them to the tracks! HAH.
There were women slotting but very rare!
My wife did it while at an RC track and she loved it. No place anymore. She helped me at rc races and played with slot car while I worked on my rc car, we had a lot of fun together
Amen
I do not believe the premise of this story that Americans could care less about the debt level. I think about it but i do not obsess over it because WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT IT? Please, tell me what people with no power over any of this and those who can stop it being HEAVILY GUARDED, can do? You can’t eat yourself alive over something you have no control over. Writing to elected puppets won’t work. PLEASE, AUTHORS, TELL US WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN WORRY ABOUT IT AND WIND UP LIVING ON HEAD PILLS AND ALCOHOL???
Proverbs 24:11 If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; [12] If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
Proverbs 29:7 The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.
I beg to differ. Most Americans are willfully ignorant, proud, arrogant, fools, who believe we are too big to fail and can never fail. If they actually did care, then they would stop voting for these criminals who keep issuing blank checks and going deeper into debt; and they themselves would severely tighten their spending habits and downsize, but they never do. You reap what you sow.
Proverbs 22:7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. [8] He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail.
Pointing out clear warnings signs is not obsession.
You can do something about it by preparing for guaranteed soon collapse of this country by getting out of debt, saving money, make necessary preparations to protect yourself and loved ones, etc.; and above all, check your relationship with the Lord.
They used to bring it up quite often when it was at a mere $14 Trillion back in Obama’s day, but now it’s just not within our realm of imagination for it to ever be paid off, so maybe that’s why people don’t care because they know it’s something they can’t stop. I will be glad when we are out of this mess of a world and with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Come quickly, Lord, and take us Home.
