@writersroom.boardwalkFlip the order and the U.S. numbers still tell the same story: 2026 puts GDP at $32.38T with the National Debt at $40.3T, 2025 at $30.86T against $37.37T, 2024 at $29.38T versus $35.46T, 2023 at $27.83T next to $33.17T. Keep going back and 2022 reads $26.06T and $30.93T, 2021 sits at $23.75T and $28.43T, 2020 shows $21.35T and $26.95T. The earliest pair with both columns filled is 2019, $21.54T and $22.72T, then 2018 at $20.66T and $21.52T. 2017 is listed with nothing beside it.
