National Debt Clock Runs Out of Digits
Posted by Matt Ortega on October 9, 2008 at 10:44 AM
George Bush has nearly doubled the national debt of all previous 42 U.S. presidents combined in just 7 1/2 years, and now, the debt clock has run out of digits.
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.
