Says it all really:
NYC National Debt Clock runs out of digits
NEW YORK (AP) — In a sign of the times, the National Debt Clock in New York City has run out of digits to record the growing figure.
As a short-term fix, the digital dollar sign on the billboard-style clock near Times Square has been switched to a figure – the “1” in $10 trillion. It’s marking the federal government’s current debt at about $10.2 trillion.
The Durst Organization says it plans to update the sign next year by adding two digits. That will make it capable of tracking debt up to a quadrillion dollars.
[My emphasis].
A quadrillion dollars. These Durst Organization bods aren’t hopeful of an upturn, then.
