To put the large numbers of the national debt into perspective, the app shows what you would have been able to buy with the national debt (e.g. find out how many Iraq Wars is equivalent to the national debt). You can adapt and specify your own items in this list.
The app also shows how long it would take to pay off the debt when paying a given amount per day, and shows the debt as percentage of the gross national product.
The data is based on official numbers provided by the governments and are updated on a regular basis.
Disclaimer: the real-time numbers in the app are estimates.
I have been a wealth manager for nearly 20yrs. managing approx $2B for very affluent clientele out of Palm Beach, Florida. This is a great app that assist me in staying informed in realtime. A county’s debt as a % of GDP is very valuable knowledge when determining the invest ability of a country.
Their are so many ads it is close to unusable, on the side bar when I try to press on a country sometimes it wont even work and just play another ad. It’s an ok app but it is close to unusable.
You can get a lot more information for free on the Internet at US debt clock.
Come on Government. Get your stuff straight. Our kids deserve better. This is a way to keep up with the stupid stuff the Feds do to keep everyone happy.
Just way to many advertisements. Some is one thing but constant. The flip side - good information but not worth the hassle of fighting the ads even though it is free. Thanks for asking Also forget the nickname request - tried 3 and all taken. I am deleing this app now and will pay for something else - silly me - still have to find some nickname that works. Hope you are getting the frustration is building.
I trust the clock averaging out the second by second increase in our national debt.
