National Debt of the United States #NationalDebt

22,000,000,000,000
On February 11, 2019, the national debt of the United States surpassed $22 trillion for the first time on record. When government spends too much, they borrow too much, so you get the corruption of big government bureaucrats causing the ballooning of the national debt. Hopefully the President should reduce spending on the government (e.g. make it smaller) so that the national debt does not continue to grow unabated.

Every trillion dollar interval starting from $10 trillion (days taken)
  • The national debt reached $10 trillion on September 30, 2008.
  • During Obama's presidency... the national debt reached
    • $11 trillion on March 16, 2009 (167 days)
    • $12 trillion on November 16, 2009 (245 days)
    • $13 trillion on June 1, 2010 (196 days)
    • $14 trillion on December 31, 2010 (213 days)
    • $15 trillion on November 15, 2011 (319 days)
    • $16 trillion on August 31, 2012 (289 days)
    • $17 trillion on October 17, 2013 (412 days)
    • $18 trillion on November 28, 2014 (407 days)
    • $19 trillion on January 29, 2016 (427 days)
  • By the time Obama left office, the national debt nearly doubled since he assumed the Presidency.
  • During Trump's presidency... the national debt reached
    • $20 trillion on September 8, 2017 (587 days)
    • $21 trillion on March 15, 2018 (188 days)
    • $22 trillion on February 11, 2019 (333 days)
My suggestion is for the President to reduce the size of the government. Big government policies are the main driver of the increasing national debt of the United States. Big government policies are the ones causing financial crises and distress.

More National Debt Statistics and Comparison

The national debt to the penny as of February 11, 2019: $22,012,840,891,685.32
On the last day of Obama's presidency, the national debt was at $19,944,429,217,106.77
This equates to an average of $2,746,894,654.15 increase in the national debt each day in the Trump administration.
If this trend continues, the national debt is expected to reach $23 trillion some time between February and April 2020 (I made that projection based on past data).

The average daily increase in the national debt each day in the Obama administration: $3,188,072,461.19

The national debt to the penny as of February 11, 2011: $14,082,712,722,334.93
On the last weekday of Bush's presidency, the national debt was at $10,628,881,485,510.23
This equates to an average of $4,586,761,270.68 increase in the national debt for the first 753 days of the Obama administration.
