and

2. Public debt is increased to $11,315,000,000,000


Sec. 10. Increase in Statutory Limit on the Public Debt.
Subsection (b) of section 3101 of title 31, United States Code, is amended by striking out the dollar limitation contained in such subsection and inserting in lieu thereof $11,315,000,000,000.



A serious license to steal, with no oversight.
