U.S. Debt Jumps A Record $328 Billion — Tops $17 Trillion For First Time

U.S. debt jumped a record $328 billion on Thursday, the first day the federal government was able to borrow money under the deal President Obama and Congress sealed this week.

The debt now equals $17.075 trillion, according to figures the Treasury Department posted online on Friday.

The $328 billion increase shattered the previous high of $238 billion set two years ago.

Thanks Obama, for ruining our country--and thanks to all the liberal idiots who voted for him...you are getting exactly what you voted for...

I guess that's the tea party's and Ted Cruz' fault too.

Everything is turned upside down nowadays. Truth is a lie, good is evil, right is wrong.

The ones really responsible for the shutdown, the debt, etc., are blaming a minority OF a minority.

What's even more sad is some people believe that crap. With all the information that is out there, on the internet, you can't believe any lamestream media, and a little common sense, it should be clear who is responsible and what their plans are.

But too many people will just not make any effort to educate themselves. It is much easier to believe what they want to hear, and have someone to blame.

Same old strategy they have been using forever, because it obviously works.
