The debt of the federal government has increased $2,452,444,126,108.25 since last Thanksgiving, according to data published by the U.S. Treasury.
That works out to approximately $7,304.03 for every one of the 335,765,877 persons in the United States, as per the Census Bureau’s current population estimate.
It also equals $15,168,88 for each of the 161,676,000 people the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported were employed in the country in October.
On Wednesday, Nov. 23, 2022, the day before last year’s Thanksgiving, the total federal debt was $31,334,033,410,564.83, according to the Treasury debt-to-the-penny webpage. On Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2023, the last day the federal debt-to-the-penny was reported before this year’s Thanksgiving, it was $33,786,477,536,673.08 — a one-year increase of $2,452,444,126,108.25.
The current total federal debt of $33,786,477,536,673.08 equals approximately $100,625.10 for each of the 335,765,877 people in the country and approximately $208,976.45 for each of the 161,676,000 workers.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct. 7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.
For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel. Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.
Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America's closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young "woke" LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn't think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world?
It turns out there's one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.
All of this and much more is completely exposed in November's issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled ISRAEL VS. GLOBAL JIHAD: How Jew-hatred, radical Islam and Leftism are pushing us toward World War III. Beyond a deeply insightful dive into why leftists are surging toward radical Islam – which hates and dreams of raping and butchering them – this Whistleblower issue includes fantastic articles by everyone from top Israeli analyst (and former Israel Defense Forces officer) Caroline Glick to Harvest Christian Fellowship's Pastor Greg Laurie on the current war in Israel and biblical prophecies regarding the End Times … which he says are now upon us.
WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
