The national debt was not frozen as far as I could tell. In fact it's growing (imagine that - lol).

Here is the link from the Treasury Department

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30075865


Be aware however that this fiscal train is a runaway train heading for a head on collision that will make the great depression look like child's play.

I fear there will be great loss globally when it does occur.

There are far too many links (legitimate) to back this up.

Google the information which will snowball and blow your mind!

Sorry for the bad news......

Tried to post a thread last night about the Federal Reserve sending 81% of our cash over seas! Could not post link ! It's over , the writing is on the wall!

I found a link to a house that has been for sale in Detroit for a long time..started at $900 and is now $1 and no buyers...I know I am derailing this thread a little, but maybe not...

Really hits you in the face, how bad our country has become when a city is so bad that people will not buy a house for $1, ya know?

Re: Government states...National Debt stayed the same last 70 days and 40% tax rates for small business are coming
There was a thread about this a while back. It seems they've been dipping into pension funds to stay under the limit..

Thread: What Are They Waiting For? Treasury Falsifying U.S. Liabilities To Remain Under The Debt Ceiling, But No Move To Raise It...
 Quoting: my 2 cents


I have not read that thread, but I saw an article on that somewhere, too...

How long do they think they can rob Peter to pay Paul? The debt is almost laughable..insanely funny, really. Except, we have to think of how we are going to lower it..

1)WAR
2)TAXES, TAXES AND MORE TAXES
3)INTEREST RATES?

My mom got a letter in the mail the other day...she has a handicapped parking sticker(she needs it)

it listed issues that would get you out of having to pay parking meters..
We have NO parking meters in our areas. Which leads me to the conclusion that we SOON will.

People in Chicago already have these meters in front of their homes..they have to pay to park there...wtf?

on a funny note, one of the reasons listed for bypassing the parking meters was that you had NO control of both hands...LOL...but, yet you drove there..

I have been searching and not sure where to go to verify if this is really the lie they are trying to get us to believe...

unbelievable if so...especially since

"If the debt had increased by even $30 million at any time during those 70 days, it would have exceeded the statutory limit. But, according to the Treasury, the debt did not do that. Instead, it remained precisely $16,699,396,000,000.00."

It is... it's much much worse once you factor in all the unfunded liabilities such as pensions, healthcare and retirement.

In this particular case, the national debt would be closer to 200 trillion dollars.

Yes... two hundred trillion dollars.

It's not the debt thats the problem, but the leverage shoring up the debt as it is multiples of the original debt itself.

44 to 1
