Most here in the states have their heads up their torpedo tube, to care, or too care what time it is.

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.

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?

Because as much as I like Dr. Who I ain't paying that back!

-Commonly attributed to Senator Everett M. Dirksen, but as usual there is no proof he said it. It is, however, a nice commentary on Congressional thinking.

You resent paying your taxes to the crown?

Our debt ratio was quite low up until 2008. Then we decidied to guarantee all bank deposits unconditionally.

And that worked out just great.
