debt clock
I sent this to PF cause I think he likes this kind of stuff. But then I thought maybe the Pixies might like it too.
Don't know how it works or what information on it any one could use but it is pretty neat.

The terrible thing is that the real number is about five times that much when you add in all the unfunded liabilities of the government (like Medicare, etc.)

It's not my Government, but you have to make up your minds whether the Government is there to serve the people or whether the people are there to serve the government. There is no middle ground unless you think that both are there to serve the Corporations.

DB... Medicare is listed.... On the left side -- third one down under Largest Budget Items...
If you hold your mouse over a square, it tells what it is up above where it says US DEBT CLOCK....
And just to the left it has World Debt Clocks, including Australia OF.

You're right TB on Medicare ... my apologies ... but the following link points to an article by James Hamilton of the University of California, San Diego. His article points to a debt of $70 trillion ... others include and exclude other items and the numbers in national debt (including unfunded liabilities) vary from over $30 Trillion to nearly $100 Trillion. To paraphrase Everett Dirkson ... "A trillion here and a trillion there and pretty soon you're talking real money."
