That’s right, but as you can see from the picture above, there aren’t enough spaces to display an additional number. In about 2 years, the clock will become obsolete. Currently the debt is approximately $8,370,000,000,000. And you don’t want to know what your share of that is…
Who wants to bet me the debt will be an issue in 2008?

If a politcal party wants to make a true impact with this statistic, they’d erect a debt clock in every mid-major, and major city in america to scare the hell out of, and educate the public.
