With the financial crisis in the forefront of everyone’s minds now, what better than to ram the point of why its happening truly home? Well, here is an image depicting exactly why it is happening…

This is the US National Debt Clock in Manhatten, New York. It was created in 1989 to show how much money Americans were in debt by, and how much it was going up daily. At the moment, that is around $1.5 billion dollars a day.

Well, now it seems it has run out of space to show all this. You see, it has now rolled over to $10 trillion dollars, which means they have had to use the electronic dollar symbol’s space for the extra digit, and just stick on a non-electronic dollar symbol (a travesty, I think you’ll agree). And what is the ultimate solution to this dilemma? Well, of course, its to build a new sign. Costing a lot of money, I expect. They wonder why the debt keeps rising, eh…
