Meet the Press Fail: Shows Debt Clock $3 Trillion Less Actual $16.4 Trillion
Sunday, January 6, 2013 | Kristinn

Posted on 01/06/2013 10:27:47 AM PST by kristinn

It has gone unremarked upon by their peers in the media, but a few people noted it on Twitter. This morning NBC's Meet the Press featuring gun criminal David Gregory ran a graphic of the U.S. national debt clock that showed the debt at $13 trillion, a mere $3 trillion short of where it actually stands.

Most notably, former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker tweeted about it.

A photo of the Meet the Press debt clock fail was posted to Twitter by Rick VanMeter:

As of today, the national debt is over $16,400,000,000,000.

Tell the stupids a lie enough and they will believe it. They fell for the Obama lies and believed all those.

It’s sickening how the left can get away with the deliberate lies it tells.

LOL.

There is no trust fund.

I’ve seen a debt clock like that before. Is there more than one, or did they pull the image from the past? Is there a service that makes debt clock graphics for people, and do they whip up whatever figures are quoted to them? Are there multiple quasi-official debt numbers, like there are unemployment percentages? Do the 13trillion guys get in scuffles with the 16trillion guys when they pass eachother in the halls?

This is all so absurd.

There is fundamentally not much difference between the US and Venezuela.

Class warfare , rampant communists running the government and the press, nationalization of industry, and 100% enfranchisement of the poor, lazy, and stupid who continue to vote for communists and seek to rob the productive class of their money via the electoral process.

"The official photo of the new Democrats in Congress contained Photoshopped people who were not there.

Sandy Hook -- did he use pistols? Or a rifle? [shrug] Depends on the news story.

Sandy Hook -- Weirdness with the Parker Family. I don't even know in their daughter is alive or dead.

Debt clock -- what's $3T? It's like a rounding error, right?

Hillary Clinton -- Stroke? Fall? Concussion? Blood clot? Alcohol? Who knows.

The election -- many districts with 100% of votes going to Obama. That's weird.

We've entered the Twilight Zone. I believe NOTHING."

Watched the Twilight Zone Marathon over the holidays.

I kept waiting for Obama administration to "come on down".

The Emilie Parker story is new to me this morning and it totally creeps me out. With that and all this (above) and more:

WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY?

16 - 13 equals 3. Not too much difference if you ignore the trailing zeroes as Congress seems to do. They are not mathematicians.

A regular bon vivant! I hope you were able to open both. Somehow, I can only open one of these now and just a few other YouTubes that I've opened before.

Very odd since I've opened lots of YouTubes before and even sent them to Mr. hummingbird and he got them both.

"User error" I suppose! Glad you enjoyed the dance. He is quite a man about town!

I expect it to have Obama giving the middle finger on the heads and his rear mooning us on tails.

I suspect Moochelle could be on the reverse...First US issue oval shaped coin...with the reverse a 1/4 turn out from the obverse...
