And that much comes from roughly half the population.
Good thing it isn't real money.

True. You'd think having all parts of government controlled by Republicans for two years some effort would have been made. But no - we get a tax cut for corporations and the debt just keeps movin' on up.
I'm sure China is looking at that number counting out how much of it belongs to them.

Come on, you know that isn't how that works. In any case, they are probably estatic about their U.S. investments since their markets are dropping drastically.

You mean to say Trump knows what hes doing?
Look for China to attempt to interfere with the 2020 election. They badly want a spineless democrat in office.
Every time this country gets a pay raise it goes out and buys a new car. Lately it's been a Mercedes.

How much of that are they returning though?
Tax returns are dumb.
Stop taxing people if you're going to just give it back.
And stop giving people a surplus (A return in excess of taxes paid) just because they have kids out of wedlock or decided McDonalds was a fine career choice for their life.
This country is effed man lol it's never gonna get better.
Sorry.... tax season pisses me off.
