The gross national debt of the U.S. surpassed $33 trillion on Sept. 18 – just three months after hitting the $32 trillion mark. The non-profit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) said in a press release that on June 15, the federal government's gross debt eclipsed $32 trillion.
By comparison, the national debt was less than a trillion – $907 billion – four decades ago.
"After the debt ceiling showdown in June, we crossed the $32 trillion debt milestone. Now, as we stare down a potential government shutdown just three months later, we have raced past $33 trillion in red ink,"
Michael A. Peterson, CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation (PGPF), said in a statement.
