US National Debt Clock

http://www.usdebtclock.org/ Interesting (heh) and a bit scary... So much info, numbers that can be too big to comprehend, and you get to see it all in real time. Not a game, kids, this is an official gov't site.

thats not an official gov't site or else it'd end in .gov however it is interesting.  Here is a good website to help you comprehend just how big 1 trillion dollars is.  keep in mind we are almost 13 trillion dollars in debt http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html

  You're right, of course... I knew better and screwed it up anyway, thanks for the correction.

I've seen that other site before -- it's hard to get a handle on numbers that big, and that's a good illustration.

yet it's gonna take me 30 years to pay it off
