HOLY SH*T: U.S. National Debt Has Officially Hit $18 Trillion

• http://www.thedailysheeple.com, Melissa Melton

"Woo hoo! Time to par-tay!" said no rational American ever. At the time of writing this as you can see from the screen cap below, it was $18,007,108,596,026 to be exact.

That means every time a baby is born in this country, his or her share of the debt would be over $56,000 before the poor little dear even opens his or her eyes all the way. The debt per taxpayer? $153,726 and counting… Keep that in mind when you read about how our government is set to pass another gigantic $1 trillion spending bill next week. "The $1.014 trillion bill funding most of the government through September 2015 is one of the last trains out of the station, as the 113th Congress is set to close shop on Friday," The Hill reported in a story about how watchdog groups are already calling the massive bill out for likely being chock full of nasty little riders that will open the door that much wider to special interests having even more control over the federal government (as if we aren't admittedly an oligarchy at this point anyway).
