The Zero Hedge ‘Wall of Worry’ is Epic

I'm always digging around for interesting and important data points for one reason or another, and I'm pretty sure I just came across the motherlode.

Zero Hedge now has their "Wall Of Worry" posted, a list of "The 50 Ugliest Facts About The US eCONomy" and my god is this thing epic.

Here are the first few tidbits before I send you over for the whole Wall, so to speak:

#50) In 2010 the U.S. government is projected to issue almost as much new debt as the rest of the governments of the world combined.

#49) It is being projected that the U.S. government will have a budget deficit of approximately 1.6 trillion dollars in 2010.

#48) If you went out and spent one dollar every single second, it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend a trillion dollars.

#47) In fact, if you spent one million dollars every single day since the birth of Christ, you still would not have spent one trillion dollars by now.

You get the idea, some of these factoids will blow your mind.  And yes, it's a rather misanthropic grouping of factoids, but each one is linked to its source.
