America Is Committing Suicide: Over The Past 12 Months, The U.S. National Debt Has Increased By 1.271 Trillion Dollars<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n

\"\"<\/a>If we do not change course, our once great nation will be destroyed by a debt that has grown wildly out of control.\u00a0 We are facing an unprecedented debt crisis that literally threatens to bring our country to an end, and yet our politicians are almost entirely silent on this issue in 2018.\u00a0 In fact, Republicans and Democrats just worked together to pass another big, fat spending bill through Congress that is actually going to increase<\/strong> the pace at which we are going into debt.\u00a0 What the Republicrats are doing is not just wrong.\u00a0 To be honest, the truth is that they are committing crimes against humanity, and they are completely wiping out the very bright future that our children and our grandchildren were supposed to have.\u00a0 How in the world is America supposed to be \u201cgreat again\u201d when we are buried in so much debt that future generations can never have any possible hope of getting free from it?<\/p>\n

The fiscal year of the federal government goes from October 1st to September 30th.\u00a0 During the fiscal year that just ended, the U.S. national debt increased by 1.271 trillion dollars<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The federal debt increased by $1,271,158,167,126.72 in fiscal 2018<\/strong>, according to data released today by the Treasury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The total federal debt started the fiscal year at\u00a0$20,244,900,016,053.51 according to the Treasury, and finished the fiscal year at $21,516,058,183,180.23.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is one of the reasons why I wanted to go to Washington.\u00a0 Our current \u201crepresentatives\u201d are completely and utterly failing us.<\/p>\n

Once upon a time, at least members of the Tea Party would stand up and say something, but these days nobody seems to care that America\u2019s future is being systematically destroyed.<\/p>\n
