The National Debt Clock

Here’s something that provides fuel for thought.
It’s the US National Debt Clock.

Just watch it for 60 seconds….

It’s churning out about:
$10,000 of added debt per second.
Translating to:
$600,000 minute
$36,000,000 an hour
$864,000,000 a day… A DAY! IS that right?

 

Now when they say citizen, does that mean every tax paying citizen, or just every man woman and child in the United States? 306 million is the estimate so….it’s every breathing US citizen.

Some say it has no imact on our daily lives.
Why don’t you think about it before you post your answer.

What impact does this really have to your daily life?
