It's hard to even conceive of that much money. The national debt now seems like this fictitious imaginary almost comical number.
One of Trump's "fiscal conservative plans" has proven absolutely to be a disaster like many of his thoughts on the economy.
His administration gave us the 20 year bond that is piling on to our interest debt.
Since the Treasury (Mnuchin) re-introduced the 20 year bond in monthly auctions 4 years ago, their sale has tacked on $2 billion a year in interest expense on top of what the government would have otherwise paid.
That's an additional $40 billion over the life so now Mnuchin has called to end the aution of 20 year bonds.
