WASHINGTON — The US debt is on track to hit a congressionally proposed debt ceiling of 14.3 trillion dollars by the end of February, the Treasury said Wednesday, a day ahead of a key vote to raise it to that level.

The current limit on the public debt of the United States is 12.374 trillion dollars.

Ten tons, then would be a billion, and ten thousand tons a trillion. Fourteen trillion dollars is one hundred forty thousand tons of hundred dollar bills. Load them into pickup trucks, half a ton each, space them on the highway every fifty two feet, and they would stretch across the country. The amount is mind boggling.

I think China and the rest of the world may 'just say no' to the spoiled brats on the Hill and make it a moot point.
