A Trilli, A Trilli, A Trilli......15 Trilli

One of the most mind-blowing pieces of information out there on the Internet is the ever growing United States National Debt.  The fact that it is over 15 trillion dollars is not even the craziest part; statistically speaking, the debt goes up $100,000 every four seconds.  A petroleum engineer is lucky to make that much in a YEAR.  There are constantly updating counter clocks on the Internet that show the real time increase of the National Debt.  The counter refreshes so fast it is impossible to watch the last four digits rise from one to two to three…to zero.  For an up-to-the-millisecond debt counter, see the attached link or visit it here: : http://www.usdebtclock.org/

  1. Maybe you should think about a higher-paying specialty in engineering, then? ;)
