National Debt
Clock :
The following is
a running total of the US national debt based on an
algorithm provided by zFActs.com.
Divide the total you see by the
population of the country (300 million) to determine
your share of the national debt. This
is how much more money the government must now take
from you in taxes or deny to you in benefits (in the
form of national defense, student grants and loans,
highway construction, law enforcement, etc.)
Since the 1960s, the national
debt has gone up in every administration, Repbublican
and Democrat. It has gone up when Democrats have controlled
Congress and when Republicans have. No party is solely
responsible. The voters who have chosen the politicians
are. Who do you blame if you have never voted? Have
you ever seen the bumper sticker on the expensive car,
"I am spending my children's inheritance!"
It is more true than you thought.
