the debt clock

I am thinking we need to start shining a light on the debt clock again to remind the Republicans how much of their beloved $$ is being squandered.

Anyone wanna go post this at Free Republic? ;-)

3. Quick clarification

I crunched the numbers and found that EACH person owes 23,000 not every household.

6. it says each household

owes 108,428. I suspect they are counting it as the average family of four? Either way it is horrifying and Republicans need a good look at it. You know how they love their $$. This would make 'em cry!

5. the GOP has figured out that most of those who own debt

are the rich. Therefore by runing up debt with tax cuts for the rich we also runup interest payments to the rich. Kind of a win win for the rich at everyone else's expense.
