US National Debt Clock :: 44th Street

It's just gone past 10 trillion and the display ran out of numbers - the dollar sign has been repurposed to represent the ten trillions and a new display is being built.

That puts the debt at $33,600/capita, or $134,400 per family of four. At today's lowest mortgage interest rate (5.540%) if one's FICO is 'excellent', the 30 year fixed monthly payment is $766.

It's still just a child & will grow. Isn't that nice.

I read that for a while during Cinton's Reign the "clock" started running backwards...so they turned it off, which I really don't understand. Whatever it gives the lie to the common portrayal of Democrats as Big Spenders and Republicans as "fiscally conservative".

I'm re-reading Karl Marx's "Preface & Introduction to A Contibution to the Critique of Political Economy". Boring title but fascinating reading.
