Aww Crap: National Debt Clock runs out of numbers

Sunday, October 12, 2008

Oh boy.  Things have been bad lately, but this bit of news just scares me. “In fact, the digital counter has been moving so much that it recently ran out of digits to display the ballooning figure: $10,150,603,734,720, or roughly $10.2 trillion, as of Saturday afternoon.

The clock was put up by the late real estate mogul Seymour Durst in 1989 when the U.S. government’s debt was a mere $2.7 trillion, and was even turned off during the 1990s when the debt decreased.”
