U.S. National Debt Clock

[Coon Dog]

I was wondering what the dept and the population of the US is.  I was gonna be pissed if everyone in the US could give the government $5 dollars and be even.  Well the 5 dollar deal is not the case.  I am still pissed though!  The numbers calculate on the fly.  What each person owes goes up about a penny every 2 minutes.  So this means we need to add $216 to our personal budget every month just to stay even.  I will let everyone know where to send the monthly check in later post.  I'm not sure if I will be able to pay rent this month after this.
