Our debt clock is jumping off the wall – don’t ask the poor to stop it

HOW much is enough?

When do we shout stop? More to the point perhaps, how do we shout stop? I’m talking about the national debt and how we manage it. There’s a website that shows how our national debt is climbing, minute by minute, hour by hour. Just click on to www.financedublin.com/debtclock.php

I clicked on it on Sunday at exactly one minute to six, just before the news. It showed a constantly rolling figure, but when I cut and pasted the figure into this article, this is the grand total that came up – €86,874,440,746.
