    Well, there’s at least a correct description: GROSS! Watching those numbers zip along makes me feel quite ill…

    Oh boy. This is the number one reason why Keynesian economics aren’t economical.

    This is also a top reason why so many public policy makers in America can be so namby-pamby — they have to appease our foreign creditors. And so they are selling our national security and sovereignty for the bucks, because they can’t sustain their gargantuan bureaucracy without borrowing money.

    Yeah, I agree with Michelle; it’s gross.

    Gosh. I didn’t know there was that much money in the world! :D

    I can’t help but notice that the amount is increasing at an exactly steady rate. Shouldn’t spending be a bit more, um, random than that? You know…a couple ten thousand here…a million there? Not twenty grand every second like clockwork. (Not saying it makes it inaccurate - I know it is - I’m honestly just asking)

    Anyway, the site it links to seems to me to have a pretty obvious bias. Have you ever gone to factcheck.org? Of all the political sites, it’s one of the most neutral ones I’ve yet to come across.

    Herc ,

    Agreed Keynesian economic theory is going to get us - has gotten us in a lot of trouble.

    Can you say “housing bubble”?

    Go to the site and look at the counter they run to show the amount of money borrowed since you hit the site. Very scary.

    Deuteronomy 28: 43 The alien who lives among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44 He will lend to you, but you will not lend to him. He will be the head, but you will be the tail.

    Ack! I’m watching those numbers go up by the 100-thousands and in my head I’m yelling: “STOP! Stop that now!”

    Incredible.

    I wonder where the tipping point will be when American people really have enough of debt to get out of it and then react together against the national debt.

    I agree with Michelle - every time I zip in here it’s worse…
