Every day our national debt increases an average of 1.44 billion dollars!! But more importantly...How many iPhones is that each day?

3.6 million iPhones
That's 3,609,022 and a half iPhones every day...let’s just round down to 3.6 million and assume that 9,022 get bricked and we'll throw that debt out. Our national debt still goes up 3.6 million iPhones every day. That's 150,000 iPhones an hour. 2500 iPhones a minute. 41 and 2/3rd EVERY second.

41 2/3 iPhones
I don't even think this guy can blend 2500 iPhones a minute...
Maybe it's just me, but these numbers are mind boggling. I've got my own debt issues, but they don't even come close to the debt of our country! Each US citizen's share of the debt is around $29,930.48. That's 75 iPhones!

Your share of the US debt is equal to about 75 iPhones! Wow! I've got my own debt! At least Ron Paul seems to understand the problem!

U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK

Back in 2000, the famous national debt clock in NYC was actually turned off! (Our debt was being paid off, and the numbers going backward didn't give the right effect.)
