National Debt Clock

As you’ve probably heard, Dems and Pubs are fighting over whether or not to raise the debt ceiling.  But our debt, deficit, and other factors in our national budget can be a little hard to wrap our heads around.  The US Debt Clock is an amazing graphic that shows the US Debt in all it’s horrendous complexity, including your individual share and 67 other relevant details.  It also has a “Debt Clock Time Machine” that lets you look at past and future debt, Debt Clocks for each state, and Debt Clocks for many countries around the world.  Beware, though, it can be hypnotizing!
