Total US Debt Soars Over $17 Trillion
Two days ago, when we described the immediate next steps now that the House had passed the latest debt target ceiling extension, we explained what would happen immediately after as follows: "next up, as the emergency Treasury measures are netted out against the new debt limit, it means that once the new Daily Treasury Statement hits, the total US Federal debt will be just at, or over $17 trillion. Rejoice." Moments ago the first post-reopening DTS just hit, and it turns out our estimate was low. Because as of yesterday, the official US debt is now 17,075,590,107,963.57 an increase of $327 billion "overnight."
We hope this will answer all that hyperventilating questions about how the total US debt can stay fixed at one number since May: basically the Treasury had utilized over $320 billion in emergency measures, and now they have been netted out against the "temporarily" suspended debt limit.
Of course, we are confident this number will figure far less prominently among tomorrow's mainstream media papers, especially when the great unemployed masses and the 46 million on foodstamps have another record number, that of the stock market, to be distracted with.

Forward March!
What happened to the price of gold vs. debt ceiling chart? It looks soooo broken for about two years.
Lets celebrate ...
give it a few weeks and we will be at 20 ...
Yellen to the rescue
And just think.....
By the end of the year it'll be over 18 trillion.
Gotta get ready for those year end bonuses!
According to the Economist's future debt clock back in 2010 we were only supposed to have 12.7 trillion in debt in 2013

No one should be surprised. After 16 comes 17. I can guarantee you 18 will be next.
After 18 you will see 19.
Getting the hang of it yet?
So when 18 arrives, let's not seem too surprised.
Hiyo Silveris-----
I like the way you think---good math
using 320 million as a base population---it comes out to about $53,125 for each man, woman, and child here.
Now here is my question, Mathamatica:
If we subtract the 47 million that cannot possibly pay a cent, What is the real number???
Thanks
Well you divide the $17T by 273 million but in reality, many in the 273 can't pay jack shit either.
Silveris----------
Now, by your response
I know that you are truly Mathamatica
Thanks for the laugh----you surprised me!
Karen Hudes to the rescue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJwJENSGnhE
She has bigger cajones than Janet Yellen.
Blame it on the Tea Party
Yes.
They must be of the anarchist variety, to object to the tyranny being imposed by elites.
Very radical peeps, these TP-types, best to keep an eye on them ;-)
The world is in the process of being "De-Americanized".

I call BS to the Treasury and Jack Lew.
Description of the Extraordinary Measures
http://www.treasury.gov/connect/blog/Documents/Appendix%20--%20Extraordi...
According to the Treasury's own document, the use of EM could only generate $208 billion 10 months ago. Even allowing a 15% margin for error that would still only be $239.2 billion. I do not recall asset sales in the amount of $80 billion. So where exactly did the extra cash come from?
This as all BS. Perhaps Lew should enlighten us.
Is Karen Hudes really Tyler? or just channeling him?
Even more interesting is the fact that the 17, 18, 19 trillion dollar numbers do not take into account the actual 'obligations' of the United States federal government. You know, the little things like Social Security, etc.
Add that in, and, well, you're talking about a whole lot more than $53k per. (Even the most conservative estimates I have seen suggest trebling that figure.)
Oh. And let's not forget state and local .gov, too. For instance, in California, that adds another $30k (at a minimum) per person. With one-third of the country's welfare recipients here in the state, it's safe to say, I think, that not every California resident will be paying their share?
I, for one, trust the Federal Government's accounting.
Shit, I couldn't keep a straight face for the whole thing.
The net present value of the all the future balance of payments of the USA is 200 trillion dollars today.
Exceptional
You're forgetting how perpetual Keynesian theory works/ends.
When you have 100% wards of the state, with no one actually working or producing anything, the .gov/Fed alliance keeps printing fiat so that "tax revenues" keeps coming in and being accounted for as a net positive...accounting never lies, only the people who do the accounting.
Wards of the state will continually spend what is printed & given away without any regard to anything at all being produced.
It makes perfect sense from an accounting standpoint, until starvation sets in on the accountant ;-)
When you borrow money into existence then you also have to borrow money to pay the interest on the first set of borrowing. Therefore there is never enough money to ever extinguish the original loan. So in short the whole thing is a scam, and most here tend to ignore this simple fact.
Get back on that hampster wheel now, and pay your taxes.
Enjoy.
On the contrary my friend. MOST will be surprised, and unfortunately will be found wanting.
BW
and who actually believed that the "extraordinary" gimmicks would not have continued had the goons in Washington not reached an "agreement". Those "extraordinary" measures would have continued for months/years.
The new gov't math does not support your contention. 2+2= 8764537 trillion and it's all free. Geez...live in the now.
Oh, c'mon; they only missed it by $4,300,000,000,000.00
I mean, nowdays that's just a rounding error...
Iowa Senator Tom Harkin once called a $6 billion dollar error "pencil dust". So I guess this would be about the equivalent of misplacing your pencil.
This calls for yet another Blue Ribbon Panel to look into why the debt keeps rising despite the best efforts of our honest, forthright, elected officials.
I'm thinkin they should budget a measly billion for staff & panelists for this crucial, patriotic, one year mission.
So, with that said, I nominate myself (because thats just how its done these days) as Chairman of this new, parasiti, errr, august panel.
Who's with me? ;-)
Can we call ourselves Team Redskins, just for shits and grins?
Absolutely, I love potatoes ;-)
If I wanted a job, I would sign up for the rewrite of the Scumbama Care Sign Up Program, because:
1. I know squat about programming.
2. It's a job sure to last until the Second Coming.
The Washington Redskins have capitulated and are changing their name. They are dropping the word "Washington" because it is too embarrassing.
Here's a good one.
The sap who's the MSM's "go to guy" on all things Redskin is not what he claims to be:
"The American Indian leader spearheading the campaign to change the name of the Washington Redskins is not a legitimate member of the tribe he leads, according to a New York State Assemblywoman, but rather an Obama crony who is raking in casino money and paying back only small stipends to his tribe members.
Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter, who is also the CEO of Oneida Nation Enterprises, is not recognized in his position by the Grand Council of Chiefs governing the Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy. Halbritter is not a legitimate member of the Oneida tribe, Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney told The Daily Caller.
“He is not even technically an Oneida. There is not a drop of Oneida in him,” Tenney said.
http://dailycaller.com/2013/10/14/documents-anti-redskins-indian-leader-not-a-legitimate-member-of-his-tribe/#ixzz2i7Z1ewSC
Well now, what are we to make of this?
He does have high cheek bones, brown eyes & dark hair, however, he is NOT as he presents himself to be...not unlike a certain senator...who shall go un-named...lol.
But close enough for progressives...the show must go on! ;-)
me hate the red, taste like a mildew, me like yukon gold mashed.
I'm in, if you can get us retroactively furloughed for 3 weeks, with pay of course, 4 weeks of paid vacation, two weeks of sick leave and 1 week of actual work, per year!!!
Done!
And in my new position as Cracker-in-Chief, I name you First Consigliere of Cracker-in-Chief.
Man, this is pretty easy when ya think about it, a sweet little gig, no accountability and a billion Benny Bucks to split up between us...why...its almost like government ;-)
HULK: FCoCiC. Hulk Like !!!
Otard could mint a 20 trillion dollar coin and our chilen' would be rich. Sheeit, any ekonomist cood du maf!
Its maf made easy...lol.
Still say a platinum colored Yugo, with the engine blown, four flat tires, sitting in the parking lot of the Treasury, with 20 trillion spray painted in green on the side of it, would still serve the same function for them but who am I to argue with Princeton educated economists ;-)
I remember not so long ago, a billion seemed unfathomable.
How much more till the debt hits a quadrillion?
Don't blink your eyes,
or you'll miss it on the way to a googleplexion.
It's like Schrodinger's cat. Nobody is quite sure, but it might already be a Quadrillion. HOWEVER because the last number anyone reviewed is around 6 years old. No one knows for sure.
That's a single country. One country with less than 5% of the worlds population. Guess what is going to happen to collect on that debt.
Cpl:
Schrodinger's famous cat would just outlaw the payment of this shit and let the chips fall where they may.
You are a bright bulb, Cpl, why not????
Thanks for hanging out here
Actually the paradox would counter any decision made as the wrong one, until someone got off their ass and checked the box. Then they could confirm the situation.
But since everyone is chickenshit of the real number of bad debt over 100 years, well...here we are. Debt crammed in every nook and cranny, lots of it forgotten over time waiting for some poor CPA to lift that rock and wreck his/her life. And by proxy everyone else's.
You have to understand that what is falling all over the place right now for people to see. It is a tiny, minuscule amount of the problem of debt. This is a debt over time with variable rates ranging from 0.5% all the way to 20+% from different congress time frames. .
The economic horse shit the US government pulled after the world war 2 would make most people vomit. Then the cold war happens, and it gets worse. Then Nixon sells the USA to China, then it goes in the shitter two seconds later. Which forces a price action...and more bailouts, not called bailouts. They were bursaries given at the reasonable interest rates of 18-22%. Then Carter (sigh). Then Reagan (holy fuck). Then BUSH (MEGA HOLY FUCK). Then Clinton (he was zen master maintainer...still badly in debt)
All people are seeing is the tiny fraction of capital needed to hold back the Ocean of debt behind the dike over a six year span. Did anyone really expect Obama to fix a 100 year old systemic problem? No he was put in the situation by every man and women in the US government. Not throwing rose pedals, just stating the obvious situation. The money being printed right now is how the chips are going to fall.
The task is now to turn the word billionaire into something as common as broken glass in a parking lot.
They'll print until Buffet is a broke ass slob like everyone else. If people believe in those large equity rich companies can hustle out of this. LOL. It'll only take one mistake in capital management to skullfuck them. A single mistake with capital moving at this velocity, at this scale because of unintentional capital creation by sub 1% interest that eclipses the total GDP of half the countries on this planet.
That's the situation. One fuck up in capital delivery or poorly designed billing not accounting for real world inflation...there goes IBM. Another chain reaction in a market losing faith in USD...Google is embedded head first in the limitations of USD.
Whole landscape littered with large, dead corporate dinosaurs. Get the popcorn. It'll be better than the Final five. As this nonsense carry's on, they'll just print more.
Thanks for the summation, CPL,
I, now, understand why you used the famous cat. But still, why not just call off the derivatives----just make them the illegal immigrants that they are?
The show will go on. And maybe the reset will allow some to consider whether they want to continue living on this planet or not.
Most of the survivors will be ok once the dust settles----not talking about guns and gold----the real survivors that always make it---a sort of re-ordering of human genome.
At least something more interesting rather than all of this endless whining about every fart in the rain barrel
Fukushima could use some help
thanks for your input
You know about the monkey jar trap?
The jar's mouth is narrow enough to let nimble fingers slide through, but not wide enough to let a closed fist back out. So a greedy monkey sticks their hand in the pot and is trapped by it's own hand holding the treat. Youtube is full of interesting video's on the subject. You can watch all sorts of monkey's nearly tear their arm out of socket instead of doing the obvious. Which is "Let it go".
Everyone, 7.199 billion of us, are standing around waiting for a bunch of greedy monkey's with all their hands in the jar. All screeching at one another to let go first and fighting with the closest monkey about debt that will never be paid back. How's that for amazingly stupid?
How broke are they you ask?..well:
and the obvious.
Thank you, CPL,
This is more how I understand it:
"They are all so fucking broke they can't afford to pay attention!"
I knew that it had nothing to do with the cat family.
Schrodinger
17 Trillion..., on the Mickey Mouse, cash basis gubbermint accounting (fraud) system.
Real world accrual accounting ~ 175 Trillion.
They can't steal enough to cover that nut.
Won't stop 'em from trying...
Intragovernmental bag holders are the largest holders of US debt on the planet at nearly 5 trillion....sorry 'bout them pension plans, G-man.
Nothing that a handful of platinum coins couldn't resolve...
usdebtclock.org
It's at 100 Trillion, at birth each American 'owes' a cool million dollars. The 17 Trillion is a single layer of government.
Notice how they stopped setting dollar amount limits and now set the limit to expire on a certain date with unlimited limit up to that time now ?
It will be either $20 trillion by 1Jan2017 or it will be 0.
By the time it hits 21 trillion it'll be able to hit all the nightclubs and pick up all the ditzyest chicks and drink till it pukes.
I can hear the ladies now in their sexy sultry voices.....
Ooooh, 21 trillion huh? How bout we go for ride over to your place.
Nothin' like 21 trillion to impress all the chicks.
Anyone want to set up a dead pool?
For those who have a mathamatical bent and want to know the TRUE Inflation Rate....... Well get calculating. Its just a few key strokes away. Go on I dare you!.. best you remain sober till the = hits you in the eye
What sober? Even my kid's drunk...on mega stuff oreos...i never touch the stuff.
Your FEMA-CAMP nextdor
Before the collapse u will be killed:
USA: FEMA-Camps + 1,6 billion bullets
http://homment.com/fema-camps
You have to laugh. After 17 trillion this bomb is still ticking. We might still be crying wolf when it hits 25 trillion. The only question is what will this world will look like.
Like...a communists breakfast...and we bring it to them...while we eat cubes of someting.
The debt is claerly unpayable, now and into the future. It is important to now try and cover as many possible ugly scenarios as possible. Hard assets, particulalry those that are hard to find. I would be scared to own rural land because at some point they wil try to tax it, especially if productive. Here are some ideas:
-- gold, silver and platinum OK too.
-- guns and ammo, now is a good time to buy big
-- food & water, especially production capability
-- drop expensive bad habits
-- some assets overseas, diversification!
I fully understand how difficult it is to be rpepared for almost everything, I have not made much progress myself. But, each week that goes by (until crash-time) I make a little progress
Remember, things are much worse as this is only the debt "subject to limit".
language is very important.
"US Debt Soars Over $17 Trillion"
whew!
good thing the ceiling was raised/suspended!
otherwise the payments of 300+ billion would have been prioritized.
and that would have been bad
now we can get back to the business of mpping up that excess liquidity and reducing that debt
get to work, mister DEA
"-- drop expensive bad habits"
Horseshit, let the bad habits roll. Stock up on booze and smoke. if it gets that bad then just deal with the shit.
I prepped enuff. Gensets, food , ammo, silver ... what's the fucking point. To try to survive the unsurvivable like the sustaining the unsustainable?
Everything everyone has, was created by ponzi. Live the grand illusion.
In my case, dropping expensive bad habits has been very much of a good thing.
Everyone´s mileage varies.
You had better not have stopped drinking DCRB, like all the other pussy alcoholics here at the Hedge!!! I'm looking forward to that $55k drink !!!
no thanks.
I'll stick to my weights, protein powders, and heavy bag.
Do what makes you happy. Making myself better makes me happy. If drink and slow death by smoking are up your alley, go for it, man.
Deep six the platinum idea unless you can get it at prices cheaper than gold. There really isn't much of an advantage buying it over gold and the premiums are often ridiculous.
Oh, it's payable thanks to Yellen and company. Just gotta keep printing.
Don't forget about the ability to communicate via ham radio or other primitive methods, once the govt begins its active suppression campaign.
the debt was never payable my old friend. when you have a system that relies on loaning a dollar, and to pay that dollar back, youmust create another dollar, well you get the point. im sure you already know this im just really pumped after watching that new vid http://www.hiddensecretsofmoney.com/videos/episode-4
I just watched all of that, very very good.
Hey, Do-------------
Sometimes, you worry too much
Actually my life is good! We are fairly well prepared, at least vs. the "average".
Life is good!
But, as the Boy Scouts (used to?) say: Be prepared!
As someone who intentionally lives in a rural setting, I advise readers to consider their locale carefully. As societal stress increases, we will see those stresses played out in the urban areas first: as well as the government antidotes to those stresses. How do we know this? History and human nature.
If you were referring to farmland encompassing 10s/100s-of-acres, I concurr with your concern about confiscation. But a few acres, with its own water supply, that can be defended (if need be), within 10 miles (or so...) of nominal services for the time leading up to chaos - that's the way I've decided to roll.
Really you think that rural land is a bad idea? So what is a good idea, a 500sf condo in NYC? I have 40 acres in BFE and it will be worth more than all of NYC if TSHTF!
BTY I agree with your other ideas so no hard feelings.
I'm looking at gettin' one of these beauties: http://www.coppermoonshinestills.com/

I'd get one of those if it were a bumper sticker.
Wait a minute! Just wait one god damn minute!
Raising the debt ceiling doesn't increase our debt, remember?
Move along.
...furthermore, this Administration has brought the deficit down at its fastest rate in...
...furthermore, this Administration has brought the deficit down at its fastest rate in...
Like, maybe, like NEVER!!!
Did anyone see the 338 Billion increase in the national debt?
Teddy Beanpole must have missed the fact that we're already at $1 Trillion in deficit spending for the year...
DaddyO
Ummm, are all your pals going to down arrow me for suggesting that you are a moron who clearly doesn't keep current on the world around him?
yes but only because I am stuck in an airport with absolutley nothing better to do...
Ya gotta love people like Teddy who argue over which politician is the smartest retard.
Debt Dont matter, all that matters is DOW 36K ...
Floor traders will print that on a cap and drink to that..
Gold should be at $2,500 by now however we'll probably see DOW 36K and Gold $800. Who would have thought these two markets move in such a bi-polar manner during a uncontrolled printing session. It should be opposite but the law of mathmatics and gravity do not apply here.
I'd believe paper at $800 or less per OZ. The real thing, not so low...
Not just unpatriotic, but also immoral. Today's children will dance on our graves if we don't get this shit fixed somehow, and I won't blame them one bit.
(Hey, statists! This time, it really is 'for the children.' How weird is that?)
You are being far too pessimistic Mickey... I fully intend to spit and piss on some graves in the near future - and I am a rational Gen X.
The downward trajectory of the US is breathtaking. Just in time to give amnesty to 30 million illegal immigrants.
Unless we develop some fantastic productive capacity that is related to cheap energy, the next 10 years are bound to be very bleak.
Dude
That thirty million are the only ones really working
Do you want their jobs???
I don't think so
My family started out as illegal immigrants in 1630, so
I am still a little defensive about 'illegal immigrants'
don't agree or disagree, I have no position on this issue
Dude you'll always be an illegal alien so leave.
Everybody knows, you can't fix stupid, and you can't tell the truth in America
http://nbclatino.com/2013/05/08/heritage-immigration-study-co-author-hispanics-will-have-low-iq-children-and-grandchildren/
its the illegal aliens causing the trajectory, as well they should, any immigration system that restricts the smart and honest in favor of stupid criminals is bound to fail over long term.
Our federal immigration policy is both anti evolutionary and anti economic, racist, Anti-American, and unsustainable too.
We're under the control of a criminal looting enterprise.
no worries, they don't teach counting in schools anymore
"who's counting? "
Right. Seriously....who should and can give a fuck anymore about this number. It's all fake money....nothing but digital ones and zeros representing lies, delusions, corruption and outright theft.
Nothing will get paid off.....nothing will get paid back. It will collapse.
And then we can get on with doing it all over again after the generation that sees the collapse happen and particularly CAUSED it to happen dies off either from natural causes or in the chaos to follow. Then the next generation that grows up from the ashes or didn't learn the lesson during the collapse will start the whole thing over because "This time it will be different"
***Yawn*** Why worry about a number that isn't real? Just prepare for when SHIT gets real.
Reminds me of Blazing Saddles: "We're gonna need a shitload of nickles!"
#WINNING!
Onward to $18 trillion & BEYOND...where no man has gone before.
17 CHEERS FOR AMERICA!!!
Laid end to end, 17 Trillion would stretch to Mars and back.
That's quite a long way.
.. congress and prez should have to put all that crap on their personal credit cards. then this ish would get figured out real quick like.
and oh yeah, fu mr. yellen.
* - Ah! the fine print...
I was waiting to see how much they actually borrowed while cooking the books. Thanks Tyler.
you know... expenses... BUT SIR!!! IOU'S!!! ALL THERE!!!!
AND THOSE ARE PRACTICALLY THE SAME AS MONEY!

Why dont you use the proper English definition of a billion. There you go, you now only have a debt of 17 billion.
US$238.00 billion on Thursday alone!
Jebez, I used to think that number itself was 'hyperinflationary'.
Spectacular.
Don't you mean "exceptional?"
Trillions of debt? At this point, does it really matter?

Galt responds "yes, from one aspect.. but from another, it's the cheapest breakfast you'll ever eat-because no part of it went to the looters who will make you pay for it through year after year and leave you to starve in the end."
Point being, 350 million zombies need a lot of sweet potatoes to survive.

I stopped paying taxes in 2008. Thanks to a ZIRP I have a combined liability of 17. minus double digit orders of magnitude.
This means I am probably safe from the typical IRS agent who has to take off fancy shoes when they ask me questions.

I dislike sweet potatoes, but good job producing your own. You grow sweet potatoes and I'll grow potato potatoes. I've got several brassicas going, lettuce, arugula, and several other cool weather things going now. I need to go harvest the rest of my chile and pick the rest of my dry beans. It was a tough year for gardeners in my area. First, it was record heat and drought in an area where the sun is already more intense than most other places. Then the rains came and we had a storm hit with the force of a cat 1 hurricane. I also just netted some seeds for varieties of melons and squashes that were originally cultivated where I live. Now I'm looking for some winter wheat, barley and maybe some rye. Oh, and some hardneck garlic.
Do you save your own seed?
You didn't grow that!
I have always enjoyed reading your comments. I love the attitude and the advice!
Thank you for the kind words. Welcome to the fight.
Serious question.
Don't you let the foliage dry out, and store the nutrients in the roots,
or is Texas just different, as usual? Midwest freezes never gave us much choice.
Not that I'm calling BS or anything but isn't that a little too green to be Texas?
No. Everything still looks like Augusta National here right now. It has been a very wet summer; we'll get a third cutting of hay as soon as it gets dry enough.
So Georgia?
Aaah Sweet Potato chips, beer battered. Yummy. It may not be a healthy choice but they are sinfully pleasurable.
