U.S. debt jumps a record $328 billion — tops $17 trillion for first time

U.S. debt jumped a record $328 billion on Thursday, the first day the federal government was able to borrow money under the deal President Obama and Congress sealed this week.

The $328 billion increase shattered the previous high of $238 billion set two years ago.

Under the law, that replenishing happens as soon as there is new debt space.
