"the national debt is about $23B."
Ignoring the mistake of using billion instead of trillion, you may want to do a little research on the actual amount. Just in the last 4 years, it went from about $19.9 TRILLION to almost $27 TRILLION. I won't touch on the obvious, but it didn't happen accidentally or in a vacuum.
The National Debt Is Now More than $27 Trillion. What Does That Mean?
