I have been checking the http://www.usdebtclock.org/index.html site for years, just to see how much the US government debt has grown by. As the amount of debt got closer to the $20,000,000,000,000 I started to watch it more closely. But the total seemed to stay lower than it should be at the rate it was ticking over.
So on the 5/7/2017 I took a screen shot.
Then I took another screen shot today, and guess what I found?
The total US Government debt has only increased by a minuscule $353,604,681 in 11 days.
Are you kidding me!!!
Now if we have a look at the Government expenditures increase over the same 11 day period it is $4,771,715,100 that's 13.5 time more than the increase in the National debt over a 11 day period.
If we now take a look at the US Federal tax revenue it has increased by $1,446,907,159 over the same 11days.
The Government spent $3,324,807,941 more than they collected in taxes.
Now, according to this debt clock the debt only increased by $353 million.
So which mattress did they find the other $2,971,203,260 under in the last 11 days????
To me this is just another pile of Government you know what, and they feed it to us every single day.
