I continue to check the debt every few days. It encroached on 35.5 trillion last week and then jumped - up another $175 billion this week. They never put much effort into explaining why...

I said in August that if the debt continued climbing at the rate I was seeing, it would hit $36 trillion by the end of October. That would have been extraordinary. With less than a month to go, I don't think it's very likely, but it's thinking about it. I'm not going to rule anything out.

Do you remember when the U.S. debt hit $35 trillion? It was on July 29th. But August 2nd was the first time I asked this question. The debt had just jumped.

Today it jumped again. In three weeks, the debt has soared by a quarter trillion. If it continues at this rate - which seems inconceivable but is in keeping with my ellipse graph - it will be at $36 trillion by the end of October.
