A mere year after the federal government set a record for monthly deficit spending, with a $223 billion deficit in February 2011, and 6 months after Congress “cut” all the spending it could, it set a new record monthly deficit of $232 billion in February 2012.
Accumulated federal debt, as of Friday: $15.517 trillion.

The interest spike should be on the front page of the NS everyday, along with GDP and demographic charts. Then we could all watch the train wrech unfold in near real time.
