National debt clock maxes out

The famous national debt clock on Times Square recently ran out of digits.

So, the dollar sign was removed.

And, there may be a new debt clock in the works with room for quadrillions of dollars. (No word if Carl Sagan’s voice will be electronically reincarnated for a voiceover of “quadrillions and quadrillions.”)

Hey, it could be worse. At least we don’t have 231 million percent inflation.
