Continuing our series on the United States National Debt. The U.S. debt is constantly on the news both worldwide and in the country but how exactly did we get from $70 million to $34.6 trillion? We will look at debt, the increase in debt, taxes that are raised to fight off the debt, and the money that is printed during this time.
