Tell me Feuer Frei!....from which country do you originate?

Originate? Germany.
Residing in Australia.

Ah, right....I've never checked your profile so you may already have posted the info.

Simply me being nebby, nothing more :DL

No worries Jim :salute:
If you don't ask, you will never know. :)

Rgr that :yep:

Most here in the states have their heads up their torpedo tube, to care, or too care what time it is.:woot:If we don't know about it, maybe it will go away.

That is a very interesting clock and you can even check the past or the future projections not only for the national debt but all the states as well.
You start adding up all the various debts and it's staggering what each tax payer owes.

Kinda wish some of our elected officials would look at it every once in a while.

Magic

Should make it a law that it run between the flags in both houses and the oval office as a reminder.

Oh, they wouldn't see it. They live in a dreamworld. :)

Go click the World Debt Clocks, makes you feel no so bad to be an American.

Ireland 1000% External Debit? What do they still have to pay their British landlords for the boat tickets of people who came over here during the Potato Famine? :doh: Because as much as I like Dr. Who I ain't paying that back! :O:

You resent paying your taxes to the crown? :rotfl2:

And that worked out just great.
