The US Debt Clock, located at usdebtclock.org, is a website that tracks the debt of the United States government in real time. It displays the national debt, as well as other economic data, such as GDP, inflation, and unemployment. The clock is updated every second and provides a real-time view of the country’s financial situation.
The US Debt Clock was created in 1996 by businessman and author Peter G. Peterson. Peterson was concerned about the growing national debt and wanted to create a way to track it in real time. The clock has since become a popular resource for policymakers, economists, and the general public.
