Quadrupled debt over the last 20 years

[URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7660409.stm?lsm"]This story on the BBC[/URL] is a sad indictment.
The board was initially built to highlight the 2.7 trillion dollars of debt America was in back in 1989.

It just ran out of space to display all of the figures required for the unbelievable level of debt the country has now reached (over 10 trillion dollars - or 10 thousand billion dollars!).

Wow...
