Shit Load of Debt

Two Added Digits Needed By U.S. National Debt Clock At Times Square

New York, NY (AHN) - Two extra digits are needed by the National Debt Clock on Times Square in New York City as the U.S.' borrowings reached $10.2 trillion.

With the ongoing credit crunch, it would not be surprising that the national debt would further balloon, which would make it impossible to reflect the accurate figure unless the two additional digits are in place soon.

As a result, the Durst Organization which owns the clock, bumped off the dollar sign and put in its place the number "1" of the $10 trillion figures. The organization promised to update the sign in 2009.

The clock was put up by Manhattan real estate developer Seymour Durst in1989 to remind America of its fast growing national debt, which stood 19 years ago at $2.7 trillion.
