For all you Obama supporters for more spending, go to(USdebtclock.org)!!!!

You will get a sobering look at what our UNFUNDED LIABILITIES ARE!!!!

In case you don't know what unfunded liabilities are, this is money we are obligated to pay for things that are promised to us by our POLITICIANS in the future!!!!! You know like Medicare,Prescription drugs,Social Security,ETC.

At 8:00 AM the UNFUNDED LIABILITIES of the U S GOVERMENT was

over $105,677,430,000,000!!!! Thats One Hundred Five TRILLION!!!!

That dosen't include Cap & Trade,Obama Health Care,or any other spending bill the president and congress has on it's WISH LIST!!!

The clock was going so fast as our debt increases I couldn't type in theMILLION dollar figures because it increases so fast!!! Over a MILLION dollars about every FIVE seconds!!!!

If this dosen't alarm you, our nation is in a hopeless state!!!

" To Tom;
Social Security receipts this year are LESS than the government is currently paying out!!!
This is because lots of people who recently got laid off are taking early retirement because there are NO jobs!!!
The national liability per citizen is $343,510.00!!!
The average private debt per citizen is$54,553.00!!That's not per taxpayer it is averaged by the total population!!!
That's the figures at 7:40AM today!!! They were increasing just as quickly as yesterday! Wait until we get HEALTH CARE, CAP&TRADE, and the rest of the DEM'S and Obama's wish list! The clock will MELT DOWN!!! "

" Thank you, Outraged for the website, which II visited. It's a bit difficult to grasp all the different numbers though. (You're setting a record, though, with 38+ exclamation points.) "

" Part 1
Unfunded liabilities are truly scary. However, they are designed to be paid from future government revenue. Unfunded social security being paid out today comes from those paying into SS today

Even more scary that unfunded liabilities is our national debt. It is $11.91 trillion today. Interest at a mere 4 percent is $476 billion every year. That’s $1,562 a year for every man, woman and child in the US. Interest on our debt is the forth largest expenditure the government has. "

" This doesn't alarm me today; it hasn't alarmed you for the previous 8 years so why are you alarmed now? The debt didn't occur in the last 8 months, now did it? How much money did we spend BEFORE January 2009? How much surplus did we have in January 2000? This country is not in a helpless state; remember back when all over the country, there was a clock on every corner to let us know our debt? Were you alarmed then? "
