ASD is correct, and anyone can verify by going to the US Treasury web site (google “DEBT TO THE PENNY”)- and look at the debt on 9/30/2015 - end of Fiscal Year 2015, then look at the debt on 9/30/2016 - end of FY 2016 - subtract numbers...and you will find the debt has gone up OVER $1.4 Trillion. [This way...no one can complain the data comes from a Right Wing Web Site that makes things up.]
