@bldude2 wrong. yknow how much money we waste on useless wars and foreign aid? yknow how much we waste on useless time-consuming beurocracies such as the IRS HUD and DOE? yknow how many federal "entitlements" are given to people who dont need them? yknow how much the federal reserve taxes you every year? all this is uneccesary. we can easially cut $1T in the first year, and in a longer period of time we can faze out the IRS and replace medicade/medicare with a diff.Healthcare system etc.
@toSTONEiGO Still not "trillionS" a year. 1 Trillion in the first year...Only thing I can see being cut to really meet that would be discretionary spending and Defense...yeah, good luck with cutting defense. >_<

One day soon there will be a repeat like Oct.29,1929 , which kicked off the depression of the 30's. Soon one day Wall Street will drop to ZERO, bringing a nationwide economic collapse that will make the 30's look like good times. Riots,vandalism, violence, total chaos. Govt. officials will kick back in their bunkers and other officials will flee to Europe. The rest of the world will feel the effects, and after a few months, foreign troops will come restore order,followed by a one world currency
This is what happens when endless streams of conservaturds keep getting their way and keep getting coddled and given in to by the rightwing Republicrats and Demopublicans. Trillions in corporate welfare and bankster bailouts, executive pay. This would never have happened had Ralph Nader been elected president and multiple parties (Greens, Socialists, Communists) filled every level of gov't in America. They would have made it against the law for anyone to get paid more than 2X anyone else.
that's not a problem of the US alone. in fact the whole world is broke. at the same time there is more money in circulation than ever before. there's no way out of debt slavery because there is no debt-free money in the current screwed up monetary system. this system is designed to ensure that the rich keep getting richer while the poor are getting poorer and the middle class disappears altogether.
@Caballingus Your right the world is virtually broke, except those few Elite who control the Wealth of the world and probably China. Let me ask you, is China broke or not? I doubt it very much.
@withwingsaseagleeyes I think that China sits on tons of worthless paper money - US Dollars - and is now hastingly trying to spend them in time before the inevitable financial crash and ensueing currency reform in the US comes around. If China doesn't spend its trillions of Dollars in time, they will in fact end up broke.
To the poor and middle class: YOU HAVE BEEN SCREWED! You, your childrens, children... get to pay of the debt through taxes. Welcome to economic slavery.
The real question is: when will it break all of us?
The IMF and World Bank have already released reports showing that America is bankrupt.
I think we need to send the Bill to our two totally corrupt and treasonous political parties who have long-since induced this collapse and the banksters who own them.
@AffinityNetNews, we need to do what Iceland did. If you watch The Secret of Oz, you learn that there are solutions. Money=Debt and ALL national debts are fraud. Every country can maintain its soverignty by printing its own money debt free and interest free WITHOUT CENTRAL BANKS, the Federal Reserve and the IMF. This is why Rothschild said, "Give me control of a nation's money and I care NOT who makes the laws." END THE FED! Ron Paul 2012 and SOUND MONEY FOR AMERICA!
We can try all we want, but what are the major contributors to debt? Social security, Medicare and defense. Unless we reform these, doing anything else is insignificant.
Einstein said that compounding interest is the most powerful force in the universe. It grows exponentially. Even if we balanced the budget today, it would not stop the fact that the debt at 14 trillion will grow to 25 trillion in 5 years to 100 trillion a few years after that. Bankruptcy for this country is unavoidable. Compound the fact that the largest part of our population is retiring and will be expecting social security. I don't see a way out of it.
Glad they solved the debt problem. I was worried there for a bit. Just put up a larger clock! Then the debt won't be a problem, we can fit it on our new sign.
Forget about ever controlling this debt. It is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Debauch the currency to allow new system. Communism (aka solicalism) depends on debauching currencies to weaken sovereign currencies. Read the play book. I remember this being discussed in the 70's while stoned at college. It's all happening by plan.
To odg1190: Legalizing marijuana would actually cut dollars. It is more profitable to control the drug money through illegal sales than to have lower legal sales that are taxed. Why take a small percentage of a small sale. Just take a bigger portion of a larger sale price. Vietnam - We had to take over to protect drug money for covert US operations. Afgan - opiat. Follow the money. Every war is partially funded by a countries own profitering of drugs. WW1, WW2,
we should legalize marijuana. the government would get so much money out of it. but it can cause our population to increase A LOT. People from other countries would come to smoke and buy marijuana which would be a problem. We might be able to not except any more people to go to the u.s. untill our dept is gone. Hmmmmmm.......
I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of NBC News' NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams' Business News Report On U.S. National Debt Grows To Large For National Debt Clock On Monday Evening, October 6, 2008.
Hillary Clinton is being preened to take President Maobama's place. Both Obama and Hilary answer to George Soros who contributed to both and who has the mainstream media in his back pocket. He gets Obama to take the Country to extreme socialism passing treasonous legislation against the will of the American people, then gets Hillary in office. Our dollar is on the verge of collapse, and our sovereignty is threatened as a direct result of legislation and lack of leadership.
Clinton didn't leave a $5.6 Trillion surplus but a $1.4 trillion debt over eight years. He borrowed from Social Security, part of a $115 Trillion unfunded liability, to make it seem he left a surplus. See my about me for links. The Debt Clock should be adjusted increasing the national debt from $14.0 to $21 Trillion and reducing our unfunded liabilities by $7 Trillion to reflect the truth about Clinton.
If you go to usdebtclock.(organization), you'll see that by the year 2015, the debt is predicted to be at 17 trillion, but the GDP at 18.5 trillion. By then, debt will still remain only at around 94% of GDP (1% less than today), but will actually be decreasing as a percentage of GDP as growth will exceed debts.
So if the information is to be believed, what's wrong with the path we're on now?
No, not really... it rose almost a trillion by the end of Bush and the same at the beginning of Obama. It was all a temporary bought of spending used to end the recession of 2008 brought about under Bush.
@nafaidni I don't know man but our country better get our shit together soon. 17 trilllion is quite high and i haven't seen in decrease substantially for quite some time. Our country is a helper, and don't get me wrong it's not a bad thing. But we've been sending money to haiti while our dept continues to rise. I'm not saying we shouldn't help i just wanna make a point.
What to go Obamanism, by end of 2010 the United States government will create more debt than the rest of THE WORLD COMBINED!!! Vote the Obama administration and all the liberals in Congress out in 2010 and 2012.
Did you listen to this man? they are making a clock with two extra digits. well realistically electronic devices may last lets say 10 years. So is it safe to assume that within 10 years our debt might hit 100 trillion dollars? When obama took office we were about 10 trillion in hole a year and half later we owe 13 trillion. My hunch by the time his term is over we probably owe about about 17 trilion dollars. if he ends up being a 2 term president probably 24 trillion.
The USA is to deep now there's no stopping what's going to happen very soon. We all ready cant even pay the interest of the debt we owe. Last year it was at 250 billion!. Last year we got loans from county's to pay the interest. Soon where not going to be able to pay the interest and the USA will declare bankruptcy. After that happen's the Asian county's that based there economy on selling us good's will fall apart. When we go bankrupt the dollar will be 0. Market's will run out of food in 1 day
Hahaha D If i'm alive by the time that clock reaches 100 trillion, im going to take a trip to the border and stand there pissing on the U.S, whistling and celebrating.
Don't worry people raising your taxes will fix the problem. If everyone pitches in 70% of your pay we could get out of debt in 30 years. Obama will fix it.
Im no Obama guy, but i didn't like any of the other canidates for the presidentail seat this last vote. but anyways, this is all congress's fault (no, im not backing obama since he approved of these recent bills) and it sucks for Obama since when he went into office, he was handed the mess and our gov probably thought "hey, this guy can take the blame and get in trouble for everything. haha" 250 years is common length for a democracy... then it reforms into something else. how long do we have?
That is what you get when you spend ~478.000.000.000 dollars per year (as in 2006) for your military.
"Hey guys, germany over here, our national debt is 1.6 trillion; yeah we may have only 82 million people here, but at least we do not have 1% of our male population in prison (more like 0.09% here)"
This the result of the media and people locked into the propaganda box controlled by the Rothschilds. This has always been an issue since 1913 and the death of Abraham Lincoln.
There used to be a time when our politicians would logically work out the problems of this country, that day is over, it really shows in the national debt. Both sides are so afraid to make any serious changes like, true reforms to entitlement programs or the growth of government employees, I can see things only getting worse. I think that the Demorats and Republirats main thrust is: First; to stay in power, Second; to establish their ideology no matter how toxic it is for the country. Ciao
The Federal governments debt affects all Americans because it must use resources that could be used on programs, tax relief or national defense to pay interest on our national debt. The government spent $173 billion in 2009 on interest owed on our national debt, and will spend an estimated $400 billion on interest over the next three years
Isn't it time for a National Revenue Clock. We need to have daily running tally of how much money is taken in by the government(taxes, licenses, fees, oil tax revenues, interests, the list is too long.). But it is high time for a National Revenue Clock. While we are at it. We also need State Revenue Clocks and City Revenue Clocks.
The government does not create any product that would provide it with "revenue" so they would have to create a daily "tax" clock. Join The Free Enterprise Nation in fighting against this exact type of wasteful government spending.
but do all of you realize that money is just paper*the US uses cotton* with ink printed on it?
the only power it holds is its symbolism,theres no more gold backing it up,the only thing that makes it important is trade treaties and capitalism,if we took all the infrastructure out,then money would be nothing but cotton and ink.
Instead if putting a new clock up they should figure out a way that we don't need a new one. maybe try and manage the money better. this debt is a disgrace to our people. I hope the countries that borrow us our money stop doing it, they probably wont get their money anyway. If they have to put a new clock up that should be the last straw.
The US has significant tax elasticicty compared to other first world countries.
Personally, I think the current goverment sector spending has greater benefits compared to the costs of having the private sector retreat in a perpetually reinforcing deflation cycle.
Laugh it up now! When we go down so will you! America, Mexico, and Canada will be one. There has already been treaties signed. We will all be like a big happy third world family! :)
I don't mind. The USA is the reason this shit happened in the first place. A new order in this world is needed. The corruption of the USA needs to come to and end.
Vearrow, no foreign countries are starting to call in America's debt. Japan and China plan to stop buying US treasury debt and drop the dollar. WE ARE SCREWED!
Intelligent conservative Republicans have proposed tax cuts so perhaps we should try that and see if it works, just lower taxes and let 'we the people' decide where to spend our own money. Keep the military budget high to protect America's future and stop Obama taking away the freedom to own guns.
imagine what would happen if the world currency was changed from the US Dollar to the Euro, and the asian country's called in their bebt. america would be so screwed
Actually the US spends the least on foreign aid of any western nation per individual. The mistake lies in that they spend the most in total but the least per individual. If you compare the numbers of most European countries (who have much less citizens per country) you will see they spend much more if you compare the number per citizens.
"Still begs to question how Americans can spend anything with this much debt." Same goes for European nations. I get tired of over the top spending. Thankfully Dutch national debt as a percentage of GDP is still much lower then the US, non the less we should take further action in lowering national debt and making our government smaller and more efficient. Governments shouldn`t be buying art for it`s streets with taxpayers money, They should have bidding contracts for road construction etc..etc
"Actually the US spends the least on foreign aid of any western nation per individual."
Well, I'm not going to get in the, your better than me, argument. What furiates me is all the soldiers that died for our independance has been made a mockery of at the present time. The US gov't takes away too much money from the citizen taxpayers and spends it in ways that "we the people" do not approve of. Eventually with the popularity of the internet and it news, we will prevail.
Yes,If only citizens could vote on how they spend our money. They recently build some "artwork" close to my home. Guess what it was; It was a house on a moving train track on a roundabout. Yes that`s right a moving house on a roundabout. Talk about insanity. And that`s money from Dutch taxpayers. I don`t need any art payed for with taxes. The government gets to involved in too many things. No wonder taxes are high. Sorry for my rant. You know we pay about 9 dollars per gallon in Holland for oil.
@666bluesfan US 'aid' is a euphemism for bribes and payoffs. 1/3 of US 'aid' goes to the 1st world, nuclear-armed power of Israel. 'Aid,' as in 'help' which most Americans believe it to be, is pure BS.
@666bluesfan Let's not forget too that the US has one huge advantage that no other country has -- the US dollar is the world's reserve currency. All it need do is print money and as long as the world buys and sells in US dollars the dollar has value. When the world stops doing that and the dollar loses its currency reserve status the dollar is dead. Production and exports cannot support the value it has enjoyed. Printing more and more money will only drive inflation into the astrosphere.
no, Inflation is good for debt, becuase less has to be paid back in Real Terms, however if you get deflation, its very bad for those with debt, becuase you pay more back in Real Terms...
I've noticed all the "national debt clock" sites that are STILL stupid enough to try and blame this on Bush doesn't have comment sections! ROTFLMAO! ;-))
This is the perfect setting for how the Bible says that in the end times, there will be world chaos (I wouldn't be surprised if it was economic), but that a man will come and appear to have all the answers (Antichrist, which no one knows who that is by the way). In solving this world crisis, whatever it is, the people of the world will follow that man, who is led by Satan. If you follow someone, aren't you going where they're going? Satan's going to Hell... I wouldn't follow him if I were you...
us maybe the greatest industy on earth a well trained workfoce big country lost of natural resourses how can it be broke? robbed from within you BADLY NEED ANOTHER LINCON OR A JFK but they be murdered all over again
ask the fed res for u r gold back ask the "world" bank the IMF want to know the real truth? see THE MONEY MASTERS i was shocked when i firsat saw it u will too as Wilson said the greatest deception in human history commited by the fed res against my own people shamefully true u r robbed dry its them like all countries u owe to the MOST
The US can print more money and use that to pay off its national debt. It's a win-win situation. Critics who dispute my claim, well look at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing what they do everyday which is printing more money every day.
Stop blaming the jews for all of your problems idiot !!! - not all bankers are jewish.
The WASPs (white anglo saxon protestants) played a huge part in sucking this country dry.
The so-called "protestant ethic" is nothing more than an empty bullshit theory that they tried to indoctrinate people in the US from high school forward.
It is suppose to be "superior" to other cultures, according to WASPS, but these bastards are just as poor as a church mouse with an 11 trillion debt.
"protestant ethic" is a joke - the anglo-saxons became wealthy only by looting other people's land and exploiting other people's labor. Confronted by powerful economies such as China and Japan, their supposedly impregnable walls came tumbling down.
The herd still believes by voting a different JESUIT-SELECTED puppet in can make a difference The Patriot Act was written long ago-in JESUIT Georgetown University Google it Your GOLD was long ago taken by the DAGON FISH HAT man White Protestants got made stupid by media and TV Fat and ignorant Banned their own Scripture from schools It suits the COUNTERFEIT which BANNED THE BIBLE for centuries The Reformation is now well and truly destroyed Back to the dark ages Rome will look after the GOLD .
hey FOOLS. Its not just bush, in fact bush is just a puppet(also in a bloodline) The national debt has been increasing since 1913 when Jp morgan or some other bastard I forget implimented I think the 16th amendment into the constitution. Look Money = Debt.
Scarcity = Profit. Its a big club and you aren't in it. U got 2 wake up 2 the big picture. Chances are your not even close, like you haven't even hit the tip of the ice burg. Your a Fucking mindless Slave bumping into other mindless Slaves.
Actually it decreased during the Clinton administration. They even had to take the clock down, as it couldnt count 'backwards'. But then it went up again when the republicans came to power... :-D
I'd check up on it, but I've read somewhere that it only dcreased, b/c money was taken out of social security savings. The Democrat elected canidate was supposed to show the illusion of a 2 party system. Its the same party, ruled by ppl behind the iron curtain.
What a joke. What a joke. They should make Bush pay for it on his way out, at least he would've paid for something. I want to put up a clock that has the number of troops dying in Iraq for his big lie, then tie up the bastard to a pole and have him stare at it.
It seems history has presented this crisis in a new light. Ever since the end of WW2, national debt decreased with every Democratic administration. After the presidency of Ronald Reagan, every Republican term has seen a steep rise in debt.
That's pretty funny isn't it. Someone from the left wing makes the debt go down, while someone from the right wing (who's absolutely for free trade) make the debt go up. It is something people should look at in the future.
b/c thats the plan. Get the ppl in debt and you own the Fn country. The leaders don't care about the debt or you or me or our families. We have 2 stop supporting the system. One way of doing that is ridiculeing Bank of America and JP morgan Chase bank, not joining the military, and LEARNING. LEARN WHAT IS HAPPENING so you don't sound like an idiot like the rest of the people watching this video.
The lack of planning that has left us in this shitty financial situation is reflected in the design of this counter. In 1980 when Seymour Durst wanted to make a clock like this he was told "it is technically infeasible" - ok, we could people on the moon and nuke Russia easily by then... When the clock was finally commissioned it could only run forwards, doh! When the clock was redesigned in 2004 and public debt heading over 7 trillion, it would have been prudent to add another 0 at the time...
What the fuck is the point of showing American people how much money they are expected to pay? Fuck these niggers. I say a Boeing 757 jet needs to be slammed into the Federal Reserve building in DC, AIG, and the rest of these corrupt piece of shit companies. Better yet, people need to just find out where these pigs live and blow up their fuckin house while they're sleep.
US Congress is proposing another stimulus package $150bn+,Paulson is looking to try the British bank Bailout plan,pumping liquidity direct into the banks,in exchange for shares,USA is today 70% in debt/gdp,this will cost another $700-$1 trillion,USA is expected to register negative growth in the next 4 quarters,USA could be 80% in debt by 2 qtr 2009.
I still can't believe Americans are considering McCain for president. I will be one of the many people who say it before it happens. If Americans vote for McCain, all you are doing is voting for another Bush. I thought by now you guys would learn the first mistake. It would be plain stupid to make it again. Just expect to add 4 more digits to that clock if McCain becomes president.
Obviously the most afforbable solution to this crisis is to build a new clock with more digits. But will this suffice? How long before we have to build ANOTHER clock? How long before we have to enlarge the building which houses the clock? WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Or you could make it read multiples of 1,000 and free up three extra digits. However, I think Bush might claim that he has single-handedly reduced the National Debt 1,000 fold... Perhaps they should donate the old clock to Iceland, make sure they put more digits on what the individual citizen owes...
Republican spending! And they say democrats are big spenders? They spend much more on their stupid wars and useless weapons programs no one ever uses. And it's "too large", not "to large."
The solution... Libertarian Presidential candidate Bob Barr believes in 'reducing' federal government spending!!! The National Taxpayers Union released a report on September 25th. It analyzes each of the three leading Presidential candidates in their 'first year' federal budget spending proposals as President. Barack Obama would 'add' $292,954,000,000 to annual spending! John McCain would 'add' $92,437,000,000 to annual spending! Bob Barr would 'cut' $200,928,000,000 from annual spending!!!
Yes, because with all of this Obama/McCain craze, there's a shot at having a President from neither side. Honestly, I hate when people vote for Third Party so they can complain about the man in charge. I'm all about doing what you want with votes, but unfortunately, the office will continue to be either Democrat or Republican, so vote for the man you think will make more difference!
We can't afford to be in war anymore.

Einstein said that compounding interest is the most powerful force in the universe. It grows exponentially. Even if we balanced the budget today, it would not stop the fact that the debt at 14 trillion will grow to 25 trillion in 5 years to 100 trillion a few years after that. Bankruptcy for this country is unavoidable. Compound the fact that the largest part of our population is retiring and will be expecting social security. I don't see a way out of it.

Glad they solved the debt problem. I was worried there for a bit. Just put up a larger clock! Then the debt won't be a problem, we can fit it on our new sign.
Forget about ever controlling this debt. It is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Debauch the currency to allow new system. Communism (aka solicalism) depends on debauching currencies to weaken sovereign currencies. Read the play book. I remember this being discussed in the 70's while stoned at college. It's all happening by plan.

To odg1190: Legalizing marijuana would actually cut dollars. It is more profitable to control the drug money through illegal sales than to have lower legal sales that are taxed. Why take a small percentage of a small sale. Just take a bigger portion of a larger sale price. Vietnam - We had to take over to protect drug money for covert US operations. Afgan - opiat. Follow the money. Every war is partially funded by a countries own profitering of drugs. WW1, WW2,

we should legalize marijuana. the government would get so much money out of it. but it can cause our population to increase A LOT. People from other countries would come to smoke and buy marijuana which would be a problem. We might be able to not except any more people to go to the u.s. untill our dept is gone. Hmmmmmm.......

Hillary Clinton is being preened to take President Maobama's place. Both Obama and Hilary answer to George Soros who contributed to both and who has the mainstream media in his back pocket. He gets Obama to take the Country to extreme socialism passing treasonous legislation against the will of the American people, then gets Hillary in office. Our dollar is on the verge of collapse, and our sovereignty is threatened as a direct result of legislation and lack of leadership.
TheModelification 1 year ago
Clinton didn't leave a $5.6 Trillion surplus but a $1.4 trillion debt over eight years. He borrowed from Social Security, part of a $115 Trillion unfunded liability, to make it seem he left a surplus. See my about me for links. The Debt Clock should be adjusted increasing the national debt from $14.0 to $21 Trillion and reducing our unfunded liabilities by $7 Trillion to reflect the truth about Clinton.

If you go to usdebtclock.(organization), you'll see that by the year 2015, the debt is predicted to be at 17 trillion, but the GDP at 18.5 trillion. By then, debt will still remain only at around 94% of GDP (1% less than today), but will actually be decreasing as a percentage of GDP as growth will exceed debts.
So if the information is to be believed, what's wrong with the path we're on now?

Did you listen to this man? they are making a clock with two extra digits. well realistically electronic devices may last lets say 10 years.

My hunch by the time his term is over we probably owe about about 17 trilion dollars. if he ends up being a 2 term president probably 24 trillion.

@666bluesfan Let's not forget too that the US has one huge advantage that no other country has -- the US dollar is the world's reserve currency. All it need do is print money and as long as the world buys and sells in US dollars the dollar has value. When the world stops doing that and the dollar loses its currency reserve status the dollar is dead. Production and exports cannot support the value it has enjoyed. Printing more and more money will only drive inflation into the astrosphere.

Yes, because with all of this Obama/McCain craze, there's a shot at having a President from neither side. Honestly, I hate when people vote for Third Party so they can complain about the man in charge. I'm all about doing what you want with votes, but unfortunately, the office will continue to be either Democrat or Republican, so vote for the man you think will make more difference!
