Times Square National Debt Clock runs out of digits

Exactly how bad is the U.S. economy?

Try this: The National Debt Clock near Times Square ran out of numbers to record the federal government's $10.2 trillion shortfall.

That really sucks! And the sad thing about it is that there hasn't been a serious candidate to even address the subject since Ross Perot. Everybody thought he was a joke, but in the case of the debt, he knew what he was talking about!

I found myself in debt to the tune of $19,000 to credit cards. I busted ass and payed them all off. Now I'm debt free, except for the $86,000 that is my portion of the national debt! Its too bad the federal government can't take care of itself, like it requires me to do!

Beware of dog.
