I ended up doing the leg work for this because I hadn’t seen it reported on previously. What’s going in the current year is important, but it would be nice to see folks talking about the long term trends as well.

I wish the National Debt was reported on more than the yearly budget deficit is. So many people don’t realize there is a difference, but the difference is enormous. It’s a shame we can’t get someone in there to make it go down instead of up for a change. Great post, BTW!

Because that was the last time that the total Federal debt went down instead of up.
