And the US gross debt has reached $14 trillion -- the size of the US economy. This has only happened once before in American history: World War II.
But cheer up and don't let the sobering facts get you down on St. Patrick's Day! Because the Bankrupting America community is getting the message out that Washington must cut spending. You can help by sharing this video now!
