US Debt Clock Widget – Origin of the Clock
September 22nd, 2011 . by adminThe US Debt Clock Widget is a great tool to add to a website and to keep updated on the debt situation. Seymour Durst came up with the idea of the national debt clock. He was a New York real estate developer. The first clock was put up on 42nd Street near Times Square in 1989. The national debt was under $3 trillion and rising at the time. The clock was turned off from 2000 to 2002 because the debt was decreasing at this time.
