Arrington Calls for an Article V Constitutional Convention as U.S. National Debt Hits Record Breaking $39 Trillion | U.S. Representative Jodey Arrington

“America is now $39,000,000,000,000 in debt—yes, $39 trillion. It took roughly 200 years to accumulate the first $1 trillion. Now we add that in a matter of months. Every child in America today carries a $530,000 share of this debt—a crushing legacy we must reverse. To add insult to injury, we spend more than $1 trillion a year just on interest to service our debt, more than the entire defense budget. The national debt continues to pose an existential threat to the future of our nation.
