US borrowed $1 trillion in five months

Over $430 billion has been spent to service the debt, which is approaching $39 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office states

The US government has borrowed some $1 trillion in the five months since October, adding to the ballooning federal deficit, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has reported.

The estimates have come amid media reports claiming that the US military burned through $5.6 billion worth of munitions during the first two days of its assault on Iran.
