U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK


The Outstanding Public Debt as of 26 Nov 2008 at 02:42:06 AM GMT is:
$10,658,914,704,392.65


The estimated population of the United States is 305,161,918
so each citizen's share of this debt is $34,928.72.


The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$3.89 billion per day since September 28, 2007!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!
