I wonder if those are correct figures. I agree that it's mesmerizing though. I spent awhile just looking through these.

If it were in real time, shouldn't it just surge once a year (or once a quarter, whatever) and hold steady the rest of the year?

Is the total U.S. debt number going down for anyone else too? Wow, the amount of money we spend in defense/wars is despicable.

It seems to run on averages dependant on financial equations, resulting in a projected per second rate for all fields.

Wouldn't spending trillions of dollars help the US economy out of our current recession?

And isn't it half the point of the healthcare reform to make it *less* costly?

hmm. That thing says that the national debt is around 12 trillion. How much of that is Obama, and how much of that is the previous administration?

Because think tanks with transparent agendas are perfectly credible.

FactCheck is owned by Annenberg.

Annenberg has ties to ACORN.

Obama was chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (1995-1999). Bill Ayers was one of the founders.

Hardly a credible source.
