This link shows you a real time depiction of the debt the USA is in at the moment. I think it is worthy of a discussion because it's a very large number and shows how much America is failing economically.

Discuss.

What that clock says to me is that your country is far too large. They're like joke numbers. How can handfuls of people comprehend never mind manage/govern something like that. And war costs four times as much as pensions? Something tragically wrong somewhere in there.

Actually it would be "in the black".  Servicing debt is as American as apple pie.

That road sign is so wrong in so many ways, it represents speeding so what do you do when you see that sign?

i took my wife to San Diego, and to the border near Tijuana. she didn't believe me when i told her about the sign, and wanted to take a picture.

sure enough, right then a bunch of illegals made a break for it and Border Patrol was hot on their ass - i said fuck this, time to leave . . .

Its shrinking because everyone is trying to clear bills rather than spend in a recession. Guaranteed it will go up again when things get easier

Fair enough, but when the recession ends hopefully the government can stop borrowing money

Government employee pensions. Not pensions for the entire populace.

Debt Clock.com is ironic

If you click on the "mortgage" tab you get access to a mortgage/loan calculator...and ads to apply for loans, mortgages and other debt.

It's like fighting debt with debt.
