Would You Take a Look at the US National Debt Clock?

Racing Numbers, Racing Hearts, Caged Dollars

US Debt Clock 

Would you take a look at the U.S. national debt clock?

You may get quite the near heart attack, or shock!

How did we get to be over 22 trillion dollars in debt you say?

Well... the answers and reasons may come up a little grey.

But, really it is getting ridiculous and a country like this is not sustainable.

Is getting out of such a deep hole even attainable?

You might try and point fingers to this or that for the reason of it all.

Something like this is not just the luck of the draw.

Everyone has played a part in contributing to this overall debt.

It is a mentality that living beyond your means is what will make you set.

The U.S. needs to start living like we are in debt and taking it seriously.

Otherwise the country will go up in smoke one day... quite mysteriously...
