Three events are coming soon in this weblog. Here’s the schedule:
Monday, April 24, 2006:
“National Debt Whack-A-Mole: How many can you knock down?” Don’t miss this one; it’s a fun game you can play with your debt-phobic friends.
Wednesday, April 26, 2006:
The Debt Clock will tick up to 66.1% GDP, by my calculation. (Actually, 66.05%, which rounds up to 66.1%; maybe I should show more decimal places on the debt-to-GDP ratio, as several people have suggested...)
Friday, April 28, 2006:
The BEA releases new GDP numbers, which many think will show more robust growth than previous estimates. On that day, I will recalibrate the Debt Clock with fresh numbers for the debt, the GDP, and their respective rates of change. Bottom line: That recalibration might cause the ratio to tick up or down, which would be the second tick in as many days.
