National Debt Clock

The National Debt Clock is a live display showing the total amount of money the U.S. government owes, known as the national debt. It updates constantly to reflect new borrowing and debt changes. This figure accumulates from annual deficits when government expenses exceed revenue, adding to the total owed. The clock serves as a visual reminder of the country’s financial obligations, highlighting economic challenges and the importance of fiscal responsibility. It helps policymakers, media, and the public understand the scale of government debt and its implications for future economic stability.
