US Debt Hits $15 Trillion; Will Super Committee Save Us?
November 17, 2011--The U.S. national debt hit a record $15 trillion on Wednesday, the Treasury Department said, but at this point, any penny higher than the $14.3 trillion that forced Congress to a made-for-Jersey Shore debt ceiling debate in the summer is going to be a record breaker.
Congress raised the debt ceiling to $15.2 trillion on Aug. 2 after much hand ringing over National Public Radio and tax cuts for wealthy Americans
Judging by the roughly six months it took the U.S. to add just $700 billion to the debt, it is likely that the U.S. will hit the debt ceiling again by the summer of 2012, just in time for a new round of political follies as presidential campaign season goes into overdrive.
