Way back in 1989 when our national debt was only $2.7 trillion, late real estate mogul Seymour Durst put up the National debt clock. Little did he know that thanks to Mr Bush's administration along with growing appetite for Chinese goods and oil the debt would balloon to $10,150,603,734,720, or roughly $10.2 trillion and leave the counter out of digits. It will be replaced in 2009 with a new clock, said Jordan Barowitz, a spokesman for the Durst Organization. The new clock will be able to track debt up to a quadrillion dollars, which is a '1' followed by 15 zeros. In the meantime, the '1' from "$10.2" has been moved left to the LCD square once occupied solely by the digital dollar sign. A non-digital, improvised dollar sign has been pasted next to the '1.' Below the amount of the national debt on the clock is another row of figures: "YOUR Family share." As of Saturday afternoon, the $86,023 fit properly into the respective LCD squares. I just hope the Family share counter does not require any digit additions. God does need to bless the USA.
