WorldNetDaily made this disturbing assertion that for 56 days now, the total public debt has remained unchanged, just below the legal spending limit -- in spite of the inevitable changes one would expect from buying and selling securities, spending, etc. And when I go to the Treasury Department's Daily Statements and look back at Today's total public debt for many weeks back, sure enough. On July 16, 2013:
Total Public Debt
Subject to Limit $ 16,699,396
Statutory Debt Limit $ 16,699,421

Total Public DebtI am so impressed with Treasury's ability to hold the total debt exactly at that level. Even on May 31:
Subject to Limit $ 16,699,396
Statutory Debt Limit $ 16,699,421
Total Public DebtWow! The total public debt hasn't changed (up or down) by even a million dollars over the last few months!
Subject to Limit $ 16,699,396
Statutory Debt Limit $ 16,699,421
UPDATE: A reader points out that Total Public Debt Subject to Limit may not be the same as total outstanding debt.
