HOLY CHIT. U.S. Debt Tops $17 Trillion: Jumps Record $328 billion in One Day!!

Today our country set two records that should scare the hell out of everyone; first, the country just topped $17 trillion in debt for the first time in our nation’s history. Second, after congress reopened the government and passed the new budget, this country set an all-time record for a single day rise in debt.
Yesterday, in one single day, our government added over $328 billion in debt, smashing the previous high of $238 billion set two years ago.
In the last 5 years, this administration (as well as people on both sides of the political aisle) raised the nation’s debt by almost 60 percent, and is on course to double it by the end of their term. When President Obama took office in 2009, the debt was at 10.6 Trillion dollars. According to the Treasury Department that figure is now $17.075 trillion.
We have a political oligarchy in this country who only cares about staying in power. Both sides of the political aisle seem more than willing to run this country into the ground, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone standing up for the American public.
