Happy Monday morning, everybody. We just hit another milestone on the road to ruin.

It seems like only August [Editor's note: it was only August, Steve.] that I brought you the happy news that the interest payment on our debt was about to hit ONE TRILLION DOLLARS and that it had already eclipsed defense spending. Here we are, just four months later almost exactly to the day, and the vig is up more than 10% to $1.1 trillion.

I'll type the full number for effect: $1,100,000,000,000.

I looked up that reference. Nicely done.

Magus is the dark mage in Chrono Trigger and one of my favorite fictional characters of all time.

I'd pretty much stopped playing video games by the time Chrono Trigger came out.
