The Daily Treasury Statement for Friday, the total debt of the federal government was $19,844,587,000,000.
After President Trump signed the legislation suspending the debt limit, the total debt jumped to $20,162,177,000,000 and the portion of it subject to the limit jumped to $20,126,392,000,000, according to the Daily Treasury Statement for Sept. 8, 2017.
“That means the total debt jumped $317,590,000,000 on the day it officially topped $20 trillion for the first time and that the part of the debt subject to the legal limit jumped $317,645,000,000 on that day,” CNS said.
The Daily Business News has been reporting on the need to get the president’s agenda passed, in order to boost economic recovery.
