Debt clock draws confused looks, anger or nothing - Asbury Park Press, 10/12/08:

it recently ran out of digits to display the ballooning figure: $10,150,603,734,720, or roughly $10.2 trillion, as of Saturday afternoon.

The current clock had enough digits to measure the amount of money owed by the U.S. government until debt recently hit $10 trillion.

"It's a shame," the 60-year-old Manasquan, N.J., restaurant manager said, anger and disbelief in her face. "It's an absolute outrage. It may be the end of the United States as we know it today. We haven't seen the worst of it. Everybody should stop and look at this clock. It affects all of us. I'm worried."
