In 1989, real estate developer Seymour Durst installed an electronic billboard near Times Square that tracks both America's national debt and your family's share, back before San Francisco destroyed the family. The clock has been modified by replacing the "$" with a "1" to display the current $10 trillion-plus debt level. The Durst Organization reportedly plans to replace the clock with a 15-digit version. Why not a giant TV screen with an animation of my money going down the drain? That seems easier.(Photo by AP/Bebeto Matthews)
