How Poor Are We?
America, America, This Is You
 

Buy Spam! We're now so poor that the devices we've created to tally just how poor we are don't work anymore.

The National Debt Clock, which has glared over the filthy den of capitalism that is Times Square since 1989, is now out of digits to record the ever increasing figure of money we owe to China, who makes dissenters disappear. Next year, the Durst Organization (no relation to Fred) plans to add two more digit places to the clock, thus allowing it to track debt up to – and this is not a joke – A QUADRILLION DOLLARS.

How poor are we? We're so poor that the words used to describe how poor we are sound fake!

The National Debt has doubled in the last eight years. The middle class is being destroyed.
Thank you President Bush. (Wonder how the brainless right wing hacks are going to blame this on Clinton!)

HOWEVER THE PAIN IS PAINTED OR PRESENTED, TAXPAYERS FOOT THE BILL

Billions were made through this bubble, there is plenty of blame to be spread around, however, where will the magic come from?
