Debt Clock, ticking away to our demise, what can you do to
counter the lies


http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/

The estimated population of the United States is 298,434,131
so each citizen's share of this debt is $27,492.21.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$2.14 billion per day since September 30, 2005!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!

1. I wish someone had worn a T-shirt to the SOTU with the
"latest" national debt total . . .

3. We are paying a half million a minute just on Interest
A Half Million A MINUTE being wasted... Within a year it will be a million a minute. Clinton had us headed in a direction that would have had the debt paid off within a decade. America could have easily taken care of it's citizen's needs if it were Debt Free. But along comes the GOP control and they need to light their Cuban Cigars with hundred dollar bills....

4. Half a million a minute. Like buying a house every minute (as
per land value in the northeast).
