With not much else to do on an otherwise quiet U.S. market holiday Monday, let’s have some fun with a new kind of Hat Contest that’s focused upon the exponentially-growing U.S. national debt.
The idea for this contest came from our old friend and longtime contributor, AGXIIK. He wrote me a few weeks back after the election and suggested that, since total debt levels are certain to continue soaring in the months ahead, we should have a contest regarding the date the debt passes $30,000,000,000,000. He even offered to supply the prizes!
To win, all you have to do is guess the date and time (U.S. Pacific Time Zone) that the total U.S. national debt surpasses the $30T level for the first time.
