National Debt hits $33 Trillion

 On 9/15/2023, the National Debt officially hit $33,044,858,730,468.04.  This was just 3 months after it hit $32 trillion.  It bears reminding that it was only $23 trillion on 12/31/2019, and it has increased $10 trillion since then.

When was it $16.5 trillion?  On 2/13/2013, so the doubling time is just over 10 years.  So in 2033, it will be $66 trillion, if it increases at the same rate.   Before, I said that it would hit $64 trillion on 2034, but it will obviously be faster than that.

When was the last time the debt didn't increase by at least $2 trillion in a calendar year? That would be 2018, when the debt increased to $21 trillion, and that was the only milestone that year.

So, we can expect this to hit $34 trillion in about 6 months, say by March 1, 2024.
