The debt is exponential, doubling approximately every six years. At the current rate the debt will be $32 trillion in six years, $64 trillion in 12 years, $128 trillion in 18 years, and $256 trillion in 24 years. Of course the economy will “hit the wall” long before the debt gets that high.

Here is a question from my daughter’s 7th grade math class. They are studying exponents.

If you earn a penny on your first day of work, and double the amount you earn every day for 30 days, what is the total amount you will have earned?
