National Debt hits $39 trillion

 On 3/17/26, St Patrick's Day, the National Debt officially hit $39,016,762,910,245.14. This is only 5 months after it first hit $38 trillion (on 10/22/25).  And only 7 months after it first hit $37 trillion (on 8/13/25).  

When did it first reach $19.5 trillion? On 8/31/16, just a tad under 10 years ago.  So we can expect it to hit $78 trillion in 2036 in 10 years from now.

Supposedly, the debt is only increasing at $1.9 trillion per year but it seems like this is increasing faster than that.  Expect it to hit the $40 trillion mark on 9/30/26 at the end of this fiscal year.
