The BBC reports that the US National debt clock in New York City has run out of digits to show the level of government debt.
The clock measures all US government debt.
When it passed the $10 trillion point last month, the sign could not display the full amount.
The board was erected to highlight the $2.7 trillion level of debt in 1989.
Some economists believe the $700bn bail-out plan for ailing US financial institutions could send the national debt level to $11 trillion.
You can still watch the US national debt whiz upward by using this website.

Printing money is essential in our world I don’t think it should be looked at as debt but rather total US dollar circulation
