In the 17 days since our elected officials in Washington DC “fixed” the problem with our much too low debt ceiling, our national debt has climbed by over $58,535,000,000.

Yep that’s right; the national debt now stands at $14,639,239,567,874. That’s 14.6 trillion dollars or put another way, that’s 14,639 billion dollars.
