Debt Clock Depression
August 24th, 2009
If you want to see something truly astounding, just check out the US Debt Clock. It constantly ticks up a number of vitals and variables, most notably our debt and the amount of it which is shared on a per capita basis. I note though that the per citizen amount is based on the total population of the country. In my opinion it should be based on only the working population. So instead of using a denominator of about 300 million people, it should really be divided by about 200 million people. That would mean that we each owe about $50,000.00. Pretty terrible huh? I know I didn’t ask to be that far in debt.
