Looks like it takes just over seven seconds for the US debt to climb another million dollars higher.

Good reminder in so many ways! Look at all the various tabs, and reminder yourself of where we came from in 1980.

With a dilution rate that rapid how can people still believe paper dollars have any value.

Good eye, Rich I didn't notice the time machine in the upper right corner before. Won't be long till we've doubled the debt since 2008

What I found interesting (so far) was the "Dollar to Silver" ratios. In 1913 it was 2.64 per Oz, Today it is 811.87!!

I watched this some 2-3 years ago. I don't even want to look at it now.

I am blaming you Numis Pam. If I pop a blood vessel. J/K B-P~

Effectively doubled from this date in 2008: http://www.usdebtclock.org/2008.html

The word "amazing" is way overused by those younger than I so I try not to use it at all but, I find it absof***inglutlyamazing (seems to fit well) that the system can still be up and running . . . time to take my BP meds.

I appeal to all of you if you have not already, please take the time to teach your children and grandchildren this. I have used Schoolhouse Rock's Tyrannosaurus Debt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0efqnvYz4YI appropriate for all ages. $5 trillion back when aired around 1996, $10 T 2008, now almost $20 T.

For if we don't, in the words of Stephen the madman . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFCvg8uokZc

These are numbers that don't even compute in my brain.
We will grow ourselves out of this deficit.

Getting close to 20 Trillion

Based on this, about 38% of the population pay taxes, but 47% are employed.
Now I don't know why I said that.
TAX THE RICH!
