The National Debt Clock has run out of digits, since the national debt level reached the $10 trillion point last month. The clock was constructed in 1989 in order to highlight the $2.7 trillion debt back then. Nowadays, the clock displays an astonishing amount of 10,228,388,628,932 US dollar! Some economists even expect a further increase to a level of $11 trillion, due to the $700 billion bail-out plan for stricken US financial institutions.
