National Debt Reaches New Heights!

It’s the reality that seems hard to face but yet many Americans are still unaware about the damage that is being done to our country.

So, if you haven’t heard already, the United States’ National Debt is at $18 trillion dollars and rising. So, what is National Debt? Well, it’s the combination of all the money the government owes. Which means the country is spending more than it’s taking in.

That’s $18,000,000,000,000 more to be exact. That’s a lot of money! If everyone in America took on an equal share, we’d all be in the hole about $56,000 each.

But should we even be worried? Nah don’t sweat it! But should you be worried about defaulting on your own personal debt? Absolutely!
