NYC National Debt Clock runs out of digits

NEW YORK - In a sign of the times, the National Debt Clock in New York City has run out of digits to record the growing figure.

As a short-term fix, the digital dollar sign on the billboard-style clock near Times Square has been switched to a figure — the "1" in $10 trillion. It's marking the federal government's current debt at about $10.2 trillion.

The Durst Organization says it plans to update the sign next year by adding two digits. That will make it capable of tracking debt up to a quadrillion dollars.

The late Manhattan real estate developer Seymour Durst put the sign up in 1989 to call attention to what was then a $2.7 trillion debt.

I saw that this morning Kevin that is sick.

good thing
 

Seymour Durst invented and bankrolled the clock to call attention to the then sky-rocketing national debt. He died in 1995. :read:

had he lived our current national debt crisis would have KILLED him.

Taxation without representation... :hs:
