I Felt like sharing this, Today in World Geography, Our Teacher showed us an Interesting Clock, That measures The United States Debt in Real Time as well as some other neat Variables.
After Viewing this Clock i was amazed at how much money goes into things and how much money the country is actually making.
Post your Thoughts or Opinions on This.
My Thought is that, We are making only 2 trillion dollars in taxes, while we are in debt of 13 trillion, i mean why bother to spend so much.
I think it's funny how in 10 seconds it spends more money than 90% of the US population makes their entire life

I Totally Agree With you. :wotwot:
Late, but I bet not most people know about this.
Why do you randomly capitalize words?

Its a bad habit.

Yeah it's strange how a modern nation of 300 million people spends more money in 10 seconds than someone would make in their life.
What the fuck only like maybe two years ago I heard we had a 8 trillion dollar debt...now it's 13?! What the fuck are we spending it on....:bang:

UK is in a worst debt than the US? I never knew that..

I think you're wrong.
Wow, you guys make fuck-all from taxes.
Jack it up five percent or something.

Yeah, no shit.

I just thought...it puts things in a weird perspective.
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;24353506]Yeah, no shit.[/QUOTE]
I mean I don't have solid numbers but I'm [i]pretty[/i] sure Canada makes like 1/3 of the U.S. total tax revenue despite having 1/10th of the population. And that's just wild.
As i said in another thread, theoretically U.S. is bankrupt.

You could say that about all the modern nations now and days since money is no longer backed by the value of gold and credit is just like loans being backed by other loans.
Europe is in more debt than the US though, and only Greece is getting major problems.

I really don't know. Too much going towards politicians and wars?

But Europe is a continent, USA is just one country.

The EU is usually what people mean when they say europe.
[editline]11:21PM[/editline]
and the EU, by definition, is a economic union between countries
I love this..
It even proves the EU countries are in more debt than we are.
Debt to GDP Percent proves a fucking TON. UK is technically more fucked than the United States will ever be.

General tax + sales tax + corporate tax + inheiritance taxes + fuck knows what else. A lot of money from a lot of places.
