http://www.toptips.com/debtclock.html is the site for the national debt.

BTW: Do you know what you would get if you took the 7.2 billion and put that into social security? A system you never had to pay another dollar into and it would NEVER run out. So as you contemplate your meager payment from the government for the 40 or more years of service you had to our society, think of why Mr. Bush wants to raise the social security age to 70.

Social security has been failing for quite a few years now. GW is just trying to fix the mess left to him. But then again I'm not saying he's going about it the right way either!

He's going about it by spending your social security at Haliburton! Hope you enjoyed those non-existent meals he fed you.
