The US National debt clock online is staggering. To view it’s face of truth and reality, go here. One should never argue with the truth. Truth provides a snap shot in time, that’s true, whether we like it or not. So, I like this clock! It says a lot. Like….
America’s war industry (as well as national defense against the threat of US enemies) currently has the country in $516,000,000 and rising as at 8pm, 24th August, 2009.
The US National debt currently sits at $11,748,050,000. Or at an average to every US citizen at $38,233 per person.
The good news is, that the latter figure doesn’t sound too bad. If every American citizen pays $4k extra each for the next 10 years, the debt is repaid.
There’s always a positive side to everything. It just goes to show how a shift from money and material things (as measures of success) is needed and valuable at this time. If money is not the only focus, then the soul of the American people can never be lean in times of duress. We live in such times.
There is something special about a crowd of people smiling in America. Despite the alarming rate the national debt clock racks up higher numbers, hope is alive and well here in America.
