I posted a screen shot of the US Debt Clock on July 29th. That was TWELVE days ago. US National Debt then was $35,003,234,351,843. Debt per citizen was $103,827. Today it is $104,225.
Debt today:
By the end of today the Federal government will have added $150 BILLION to the debt in 12 days.
Since nobody with any power to stop this destruction seems to care, the purpose of this post is other information that is available on the same site: usdebtclock.org
Click the link, there is a ton of interesting data. Go to the bottom and click on Energy Output. Wind and solar produce tiny amounts of energy. People who tell you Net Zero is possible are lying to you. Do you like having the lights turn on when you flip a switch? Without fossil fuels they won’t.
In my opinion the numbers, be it debt or fuel consumption or most things on a worldwide scale, are so big the vast majority of us can’t comprehend them. They kind of numb our brain and we just shake our head and move on.
We need a business person in control of the nation’s spending. Bureaucrats and ideologues are oblivious.
Remember when the stated goal in Illinois was not to allow lockdowns to end til there was ZERO cases of covid in Illinois? I do. Crazies in leaderhip.
