Maxing Out the National Debt Clock

They are prepared...

If all encumbants are voted out the major parties have stooges waiting in the wings to take thier place that will tow the line and keep things the way they are.

Vote independent.

You've beensmacked. Now wake up!

The solution is obvious

Since the Dow is below 10,000 now, that's a digit that's not needed anymore...so let's recycle it!

Like they really care

Since a great number of legislators in D.C. are independently wealthy, there is no way on Gods green earth they can comprehend the magnitude of the devastation their incompetance has wrought. Do any of you out there actually still believe that elected officials give a damn how much you pay for food, heating oil, gasoline? Why should they: For the most part all of of their day-to-day expenses are coming out of YOUR wallet, not theirs.

I am 62 years old. I grew up loving my country, respecting the sacrifices those who came before me made to ensure my freedom.

This is NOT America. We are living in a Kafka-esque version of the United States in which up is down and down is up. When will this end?

And close to 50% of americans still don't understand

Argggggggggg

Bill Clinton left with surplus and debt about 5 trillion. Bush erased the surplus to a deficit of half a trillion and debt doubled. And people still voting for replublicans? Shame shame.

And they've changed the way they count debt

If you add in all the debts that used to be counted - Social Security debt to retirees, Vererans committments, etc - our debt has actually ballooned to 53 Trillion... Now that's a staggering number. I wonder why they changed the way they report it?
