national debt
This one's really fun: What does the U.S. national debt look like?
See it here: U.S. National Debt in $100 bills
Pretty impressive, but badly out of date because that was in 2009 when the debt was only about $11 trillion.
Instead of the approximately $11,000,000,000,000 pictured at the link above, the U.S. national debt is now, after 4 years of Obama and a spendthrift Congress, nearly $16,400,000,000,000.
See it here (refresh to watch it grow): U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK
The growth rate of the debt averages about $3.84 billion per day, which is about $160 million per hour, or $2,670,000 per minute.
But, hey, it's OK, because a large and increasing chunk of it is borrowed! And, anyway, it's not our problem -- it's for our kids and grandkids (and maybe the grandkids' kids) to deal with! Legacy!
Merry Christmas! Whoopee!
