U.S. Debt Rises Irrespective of Who Is in the White House: from Statista: “U.S. national debt has surpassed $30 trillion for the first time as of February 1, according to the Treasury Department. A whopping $7 trillion were added over course of the coronavirus pandemic in the last two years. The U.S. has seen three Republican and three Democratic administrations since the 1980s, but no matter who is in the White House, U.S. debt has been rising steadily throughout the years, also expanding the debt ceiling in the process. On December 16, Congress last passed an updated suspension of the debt ceiling after having expanded it to $28.9 trillion in October. The debt ceiling says that the Treasury Department is not allowed to go into debt beyond a certain limit unless explicitly authorized by lawmakers.”

“Una couldn’t conceal her delight, though she tried. Nor could Sheila conceal her terror of the loneliness in the cold room. Both tried to suppress any expression of their feelings. They knew their places. They were simply pawns. And this world of their father and Casey and Elizabeth was as unknowable to them as the intolerable world of God is to the grown, if they have not dulled their sense of the mystery of life with the business of distractions of the day or the hour. All the two black haired girls could do is sit there and wait, coming and going as they were willed.”
–From “The Barracks,” by John McGahern (1963).
