They took down the DEBT clock in NYC....... The Debt clock that shows the country's debt has been taken down, its the first time since the Clinton term of office that its been down, back in Clintons day it was down, because their was no debt, there was a surplus. The clock was taken down now, because we have passed the "Trillions" and we need another digit and the clock is not equipped for that. Good Work Bush!

The national debt has climbed from 5.6 trillion to a current 10.2 trillion and you can add the bailout trillion to that. So Bush has given us over 5 trillion dollars of new debt in 8 years.
Meanwhile, civic knowledge is enhanced by discussing public affairs, taking part in civic activities and reading about current events and history, the group said.
Which is why we have P & R! | |

The clock couldn't handle passing 10 trillion. http://www.treasurydirect...ication=np Historical Debt Outstanding - Annual 2000 - 2008 Includes legal tender notes, gold and silver certificates, etc. The first fiscal year for the U.S. Government started Jan. 1, 1789.
