Ummm... Wut? The national debt is not at $31.27T; it's well above $38T. I'd accuse someone of trying to gaslight the public into thinking things aren't as bad as they *actually* are; but upon closer inspection, this just looks like 'news' outlets lazily regurgitating the same erroneous slop. (If the Bureau of Economic Analysis is indeed the source of this, they appear to have since taken it down).
