Call it a debt hawk’s dream, but Rep. Tom Reed introduced a resolution last week to install a ticking clock to blare the national debt directly onto the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Reed, a New York Republican who says he talks about the debt “incessantly,” said he had the idea on a recent trip to Manhattan’s billboard-sized clock near Times Square.
“The debt clock will be a distinct reminder that our national debt must always be our first consideration as we continue to spend money that we do not have,” Reed said in a statement last week.
Oh yes, let's waste more money on political gimmicks and props.

a few bucks on a clock seems cheap compared to the 14 trillion dollar deficit.
or few million on measuring cow gas and the thousands of other usless government funded programs
and come on now it will be made in china so you know it will be cheap

how many times to i have to explain this to people
corporations like ge are multinational corporations
that means income derived in other parts of the world are not taxable in this country
only what it makes here is taxable by us law.
however i hate ge as much as the next person
but perspective is what is needed here.
