Sorry…the US debt increased by 712 Billion with a B! I thought we were cutting government expenditures and growing the tax base… where did all the taxpayer money go? I mean beyond giving it to billionaires?

As of Dec. 11, US debt has increased by $712B since Oct. 1.
Next week the Treasury will auction $275B (much of this is a rollover)

It's pretty crowded out there, no?
