Victoria Spartz uses a comparison of a million, billion, and trillion seconds to illustrate the scale of the rising U.S. national debt, which now stands at $39 trillion and continues to grow.
Spartz highlights the enormous difference between these numbers to underscore the unprecedented size of the current debt level.
Spartz has previously expressed concern about the financial impact of entitlement programs on younger Americans. In an earlier statement, she said only the top 12 percent and older Americans have seen wealth gains in recent decades, citing the need for policy changes.
