US Debt Clock

Have a drink, smoke a doobie, kick back and ponder what all of these scrolling numbers mean for the world as we'll know it in 10 years...

very interesting

Wow, 65% of the US population are deadbeat taxpayers. This figure doesn't even include the people who cheat on taxes, after which I would raise my estimate to a solid 85%.

Good luck America, and don't wait too long for Jesus to save you from this.

Canada's debt per citizen is ~$16 000
USA's debt per citizen is ~$44 000

The National Debt Clock billboard in NYC ran out of digits a few years ago when it hit 10-trillion. It has since been upgraded and can track a debt up to a quadrillion dollars :nut:

[AaronK]

Wow insane.... they will never pay that off, haha

[Feruk]

Average family savings = $9,000?? Haha what?

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Holy shit. Glad I am not in debt at all.

[old&slow]

26 million actual unemployed? ouch!

[Seth1968]

Mortgage Debt is going down? I'm not good with economics is that a good thing? Or is it because people are just walking away from their mortgages?

its called de-leveraging.

That's why US just printed $600B. As long as the world uses USD as reserve, debt is not an issue.

When China and India become self sufficient, then the world can afford to drop USD. The US would become Zimbabwe.

There is a saying that goes, don't bet against the fed.

I am currently taking that advice.

I think we're going to have a new government and new money system within the next 10 years. Like we'll wake up one morning and all of our money will be converted to Ameros at a 1/16 exchange rate. The same people will still be in charge in the US (aka the bankers) but they will have some new political party or something, maybe a union (North American Union). I'd much rather this than the alternative as posted above.
