US national debt crosses $22 trillion

Source: News Formal (newsformal.com)

All of the investigations have added immensely to debtunnecessary

Tax cuts for the rich will do that. Thank you greedy Republicans and bleeding heart Democrats.

Here's what to know, Obama added $16 trillion! More than all past presidents combined!!! Where's your outrage over that, then or now!!

Trump USA complete INCOMPETENT

So much for Republicans being fiscally responsible.

The Only thing that could tank this economy is a Democrat administration.

Yeah obama took it from 9 trillion to 19 trillion and nobody cared...

Federal debt rose 74% under Obama.

Take That CNN

Obama raised our deficit more than all previous Presidents combined! Under his watch they lost $ still unaccounted for; the Democrats passed Obamacare that raised premiums, lost coverages & doctors, forced every citizen to sign up or penalize them $, a failed enrollment & more

Where was CNN's dumb little Debt clock when Obama ran it up to 18 trillion? Yeah, that's what I thought. FakeNewsCNN

Funny you didn’t seem concerned about it when Obama was in office. DoubleStandards

President Bush left office at 10.6 Trillion in Debt, and Obama more then anyone combined, added 9.4 Trillion in Debt. Nice try though. All of you at CNN aren’t mentioning the full picture. As usual at CNN...

True. But remember Obama For Doubled The Federal Deficit. President Trump had to build our military back up that Obama depleted. He will attack the deficit. Wait and see. TrumpPence2020

Don’t worry, your corporate overlords are doing just fine.

thankstrump

CNN telling people what to think. Wonder if they mention Obama is responsible for nearly half this debt ...

should have been talking about this in 2008.

When Obama took office, Our national debt was 6-7 trillion. 20 trillion when he left office. Our debt risen more under Obama than any other President combined!

Not a word about spending.

That 18 of that is thanks to BarackObama who racked up more debt than all other presidents combined. Yet FAKE NEWS never said a word. RealJamesWoods WadeDukes foxandfriends

I believe this will end us before the climate.

Fake news

realDonaldTrump my kids are not happy with GOP

It went up 11 Trillion during Obama’s 8 years and said nothing!!!

and you thought the 'housing' bubble was a big BOOM!!! 😳 American debt, Americans' debt... this isn't about if, it's about when. tick tock!

Now the Dems are concerned about the debt? You guys are a joke never mentioned this during the last guys run up

I love everyone commenting, 'Thanks Trump'.. do research, every President raises the National Debt. You should be used to it but now. Smh.

Finally, CNN sends out the alert of a real national crisis. This was missing when the debt exploded under Obama. I welcome it now, late as it is.

Great Wall of China couldn’t even keep the Mongols out. If a warrior on horse back with his homies and some rope and ladders could get over a wall hundreds died making over centuries. What do you think a direct descendent of a indigenous people with a phone can do? Comon son

Sounds like it’s time to cut off foreign aid for a couple decades. realDonaldTrump should do that and I’m sure these two fine woman would give him much praise for tackling this issue. MAGA2020

Thanks to Obama our country more than tripled its debt -

I doesn't matter just as long as we built a stupid wall

GOP tax cut. AKA trickle down. AKA BULLSHIT.

But not a word on the increased revenue or that the debt gap actually decreased.... runaway debt wasn't caused by Trump but he's trying to fix it along with making our country better.

When doesn’t it go up?

Obama doubled it 8-9 trillion to 17 trillion 😲😲😲😲yeh doubled it ,aahh Obama care !!😠😠😠

The King of Debt👇🏼

It really sucks, our grandkids and their kids will suffer financially for a billionaires tax cuts.

we are all waiting for an apology!!

Thanks Obama.

PuTiN APPRoVeD!!

It takes a lot of money to fix obama's screw ups. His library is going to be the size of a phone booth. I feel sorry for him.

It’s called Winning! MAGA! The Art of the Deal! 🤔🤔🤔

Isn’t this the normal cycle,Republicans damage the economy and then it he Democrat’s come to the rescue.

Maybe we should try another tax cut for the rich and see if it works this time.

How much of that debt has been from years of taking care of illegal immigrants?

A businessman as president?! What a joke?!

Obama added $!0 trillion and you did not say a word. Did you review the budges that the Democrats sent to the President. Blame your Pelosi for the increase.

Gotta take care those illegal alien Democrat voters.

And one fool wants to build a wall which doesn’t work 🤦‍♀️

wow, great reporting... did you know that it topped $21 Trillion for the first time nearly a year ago? Or that it topped $20 Trillion the year before? Your reporting sucks CNN. Liberals being fiscally conservative when a Republican is in office...

Thanks Trump!

We have to pay for all the unfair advantages given to the wealthy, somehow.

If Trump is allowed to continue on erratic fraudulent governance, this country will be on the auction block. “WE” the people have an URGENT IMPORTANT role in STOPPING Trump to add to an already staggering national debt.

Can we file bankruptcy

Trump leaving the Paris agreement that's also millions upon millions every year coming back to America. Now to ditch the UN

Well the dems wanted to waste 155 billion a year one illegals, now the wall is going up that's 150billion off the debt right there.

There we fo with the Fake News again!

Wait...wait, where was this reporting while President Obama ran up the national debt? Now you're worried about the national debt when Democrats are proposing trillions in additional spending for *free college*. *Medicare For All*.

CNN did not cross the line, they completely hide the line so you cannot see the results. I can not see the line, can you?

Trump

And Trumped knocked how much off the debt? When he got in

So! Cant pay our car loans fill up the tank and were doing just great. Thanks mr trump

The Chinese do own a lot of U.S. debt $1.168 trillion as of January 2018.

What was it at when Obama became president...? 10

Shameful 8 years of BarackObama

So Obama raise the debt by 9 trillion more than any president before him combined that was okay but now it's a problem because Trump's in charge you guys are ridiculous LOL

Obama doubled it

Thriving economy Lowest gender/race unemployment Highest job participation Record job openings Rising wages Fixed trade deals... Please allow some time for all these positive numbers address the debt... ...a businessman hates debt. Pres Trump will fix it. MAGA

The debt is the present day administrations doing! Normal citizens live barely daily, you make it seem we have little to “worry about” Crisis ? National Emergencies?Debt? War? Probably, we will be left too suffer the consequences ? As usual, the poor! No golf for us!

CNN: How can we divert from Jussie, a booming economy, Trump’s approval rating and anything else good in this world?

If CNN only would start doing some real journalism when it comes to war for every single President I think it would be a lot better. The debt.

And yet... 🤔

Ok cnn keep the debt clock on the ticker the whole year! You did when Obama was in office when republicans was crying about the debt! Remember FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY seems rare huh...

Dems and media didn’t care about the debt when Obama was in office, Republicans don’t care about the debt when Trump is in office but the media suddenly cares.

Thanks Orange Frump.

MAGA 😂

Obama Doubled the National Debt According to your Chart!!

More than 50% of these debts are related to past 20 years' liabilities and their interest

I have no debt, so I’m basically richer than the United States.

Yeah boy, everything is wonderful until no one will finance our debt!

It is still slower growth than the prior administration

I predict soon USA becomes divided State of Amarica because of Trump's policies

Next up! How millennials caused it all with no fault to the turds in Washington...

Fun ? Talking about people’s misery

Suddenly there's no GOP outrage about this. I'm like..... so shocked.

CNN finally trying some real journalism trying to deflect from the Smollett embarrassment.

The nations got about a century and a half left in her at best. Climate change and humanity's final war over the last remaining finite resources inland will inevitably do her in.

Trump & The GOP are hoping the tax Bill they passed will ease the debt by decreasing our tax refunds or owing the IRS unless of course you're filthy rich or a corporation.

Recession imminent🧐🧐🧐

Obama added 10 trillion in 8 years let's not forget!

And trump wants to spend vast amounts on a WALL. This is a massive debt, how many of you does It worry!! It sure would me, bxxxxger the wall!

TRUMP'S ECONOMY

China is laughing its way out by buying out US loan vouchers. China will use it one day, to hit USA.

Add another $4.5 million for that National Emergency out in Mar-a-Lago this weekend 👍😄

How big of a warning sign was Obama doubling the national debt?

So now it matters. 1 trillion per year from 2008-2016 was 9 trillion under last administration. Math.

It seems to me to be a big catastrophe. In 11 months, rising tens of $ 1 trillion may be problematic.

This is the most simplistic, vapid, infotainment dialogue on financial reality that I have ever seen. Disclaimer: I don't watch TV, and now I know why. I'll just leave that here.

It means Trump is bankrupting our country.

Obama added $10 trillion in 8 years.

That's a Republican congress for you.

?

I wonder how Trump dares to say that we have a great economy!

AOC has all the answers to solve this

I read that it'll Take 350,00,000+ year to pay it off!

Too much debt is very bad for the economy. Repayments sap profits and prevent reinvestment, and new capitol is difficult to acquire. Pay down the debt, reinvest in infrastructure, communications and basic public services. Create an environment where business can thrive.

Obama packed on almost as much debt as every other president before him combined. Put the blame where it belongs.

Funny how the Party of Responsible Spending and Small Government finds ways to hand out to cash to rich people, let a guy with multiple bankruptcies start a trade war with China, and then borrow money to try to bribe farmers hurt by that trade war.

This shit is pretty scary, someone should make a movie 22Trillion

Remember the phrase “fiscal conservative”. Neither does the GOP. It’s funny how they tell us food stamps, healthier school lunches, universal healthcare and helping the poor is too expensive...yet digging a bigger debt ditch is just fine when helping the rich?

The national debt equals the savings of the non government sector. There’s no crisis. mmt

Question when 44 placed us trillions in debt. Did propaganda news make a story out of it? Shouldn't real reporting be fair and balanced? We have 2 white racist in Virginia and the black man only onw getting impeached. Is this not news?

$179,000.00 owed by each taxpayer.

what if the interest is going to change

Chump does have a track record when it comes to bankrupting organisations he runs ! Enjoy !!

OBAMA'S FAULT

who do we owe the debt to?

FakeNews

Eight years of spending like a drunken sailor. Put the blame where it belongs.

Thats too much
