11,309,323,943,435.64 The debt clock added $19B in the 69 hours or about 270MM per hour. This means one medium sized T-bond issue every three days! They must be really busy at the treasury office. well thats a dollar per US citizen per hour as suggested; or that could be the forgiveness of mortgage debt for thousand homes. Every hour in and out!

June 21 - 7:20 Clock stands at 11,408,980,422,951.77 This means that the US debt rose by 100B in one month. at that rate, adding 3.5% interest and compounding the debt doubles in less than 6 years. (If the accruals are included in the new debt, it doubles in 8 years.)
