Thirty-three thousand Boeing union members have been on strike for five weeks.

Meanwhile, Boeing’s financial losses are mounting, with a $6 billion loss in the third quarter.

Interest on national debt continues to rise

Interest rates are rising as the U.S. national debt has increased by $473 billion over the last three weeks.

The U.S. government’s debt now stands at nearly $36 trillion — that’s nearly $104,000 for every American.
