In case you missed it, the national debt recently passed the $22 trillion mark:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The national debt has passed a new milestone, topping $22 trillion for the first time. — Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) February 12, 2019

This is an abomination. https://t.co/oL36HhCAza — Rory Cooper (@rorycooper) February 12, 2019

Indeed it is. It’s shameful, inexcusable, and Americans should be pissed.

Thank goodness CNN is here to keep us posted on this troubling situation:

Jake Tapper got in on it, too:

Happy 7 year anniversary to this tweet; the U.S. National Debt just hit $22 Trillion https://t.co/f0bEXbCSWx — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) February 13, 2019

This has to stop! @BarackObama loves accruing American debt–he missed his budget deficit goal by over $500 billion. http://t.co/nsPDXFTs — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 13, 2012

That tweet indeed makes Donald Trump look like a hypocrite. But you know who else looks hypocritical? CNN.

CNN didn’t tweet about the national debt for 8 years. I’m not joking. https://t.co/NHsjFhzoQp — EducatëdHillbilly™ (@RobProvince) February 14, 2019

No, he really isn’t. These are consecutive tweets on the national debt from CNN:

That’s actually nine years. To the day.

wonder why ?? — Marvz (@Marvz_Said_It) February 14, 2019

Was the climbing national debt just not newsworthy for nine years? Why wouldn’t they have covered it in all that time?

There was no national debt from 2009-2016. Everybody knows that. No homeless, either. — Becky Kevoian (@BobsFunGirl) February 14, 2019

Ohhhh … that’s probably why. Guess we should just stop picking on them, then.
