very cool - U.S. National Debt Clock (real time)
http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/
It current says:
" The Outstanding Public Debt as of 11 Nov 2002:
$6,274,026,870,617
The estimated population of the United States is 288,835,512
so each citizen's share of this debt is $21,721.80.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1,140 million per day since September 28, 2001!"
Crazy, huh?
