When will the National Debt Clock hit $22 trillion?
It looks to me like this "Analysis by Z. Byron Wolf", published on Sunday, 1/13/2019, could have used a little more analysis:
In total, (the National Debt will) be $22 trillion any day now...
I did a calculation based upon The National Debt Clock and found that it'll be a bit longer than "any day now." Anyone care to guess the date, or do your own calculation?
The article about the importance, or lack thereof, of the National Debt is interesting, but this post is motivated primarily by the mathematics.
