Attorney Sanders says it would take 3,363 years to count national debt by $100 per second every day of each year!!!

According to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s website, our total national debt as of October 9, 2008 is a staggering $10,266,382,646,543.62. Did you ever wonder how long it would take you to count the national debt that existed on October 9, 2008 if you counted by 100?

The answer is staggering to the average person. If you counted down the current national debt, as of October 9, 2008, by 100 and I mean counting it out at $100 dollars per second–24 hours a day, seven days a week until you were through–it would take you more than 3,363 years to count up to $10 trillion, two-hundred and sixty-six billion, three hundred and eigty-two million, five hundred and forty three dollars and sixty two cents.

I don’t know about you, but I am a fiscally conservative in my politics and views. This staggering national debt load is truly outrageous and distressing, and is simply wrong for our great and proud nation. This long-term financial nightmare is making us a debtor nation. Eventually, the weight of this debt will evenutally stop our national and local economy, all of our social programs, our great military, and our national well being. We must begin to address this issue rather than ignore it.
