Look at this chart
National Debt | |||
Date | National Debt | Last Year | Increase |
08/21/19 | 22,414,598,129,671.70 | 21,419,489,702,413.30 | 995,108,427,258.44 |
08/22/19 | 22,430,652,209,581.70 | 21,406,769,129,269.30 | 1,023,883,080,312.43 |
So from 8/22/19 onward, the national debt is at least $1 trillion more than the prior year. It actually will increase more than this, but this is the minimum increase.
Fun fact: when did the national debt first exceed $1 trillion? The answer is Oct 22, 1981.
When is the national debt projected to exceed $30 trillion? I am assuming that the intragovernmental portion will reach $6 trillion and stay there. So this is the same as asking when the Debt Held By the Public will reach $24 trillion.
Some various answers are: 2026 and 2024.
