The Debt Clock

The US Debt Clock is a great web page to help remind Americans just how out-of-control we have let our government become.

The page presents real-time estimates of more than sixty important economic indicators. By the time you view the debt clock, the statistics will be even worse than the ones that I am looking at now. We’re spending a billion dollars a day just to pay the interest our national debt.

The U.S. national debt is over twelve trillion dollars and growing at the fastest pace since the end of WWII. The federal debt represents a burden of over $111k on the shoulders of every single American taxpayer.

Raising taxes isn’t the solution, but that’s what you are going to hear politicians propose over the next few years. The real solution is for we the people to force the U.S. government back into it’s Constitutional cage — preventing the federal government from engaging in activities which are not authorized by the United States Constitution.

We had better get to this task soon — the clock is ticking!
