Big Red Calculator - the Official Calculator of the National Debt. National Debt Hits $12 Trillion, and Most Calculators Don't Have Enough Zeros.

    MONTROSE, CO, November 20, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Today the current national debt jumped above the $12 trillion level with no end in sight. It's been climbing at $4 billion a day and the House of Representatives voted recently to raise the national debt spending limit to $13 trillion. With the prospect of $9 trillion budget deficits over the next ten years and health care reform on the horizon, you are going to need a bigger calculator to keep up with the increasing national debt.

That's where a Colorado entrepreneur came to the rescue. Big Red, the Official Calculator of the National Debt was the brainchild of Matt Miles. "I needed a 16-digit calculator if I wanted to see the whole number to the penny. When I went looking around for one, there were none available so I had one built." Now Matt says anyone can see the real number and hopes more people will become aware of just how big our national debt has become.

"Big Red Calculator not only displays the whole national debt, it's a great conversation piece and a nice functional calculator. If more people can see how big the US debt is, then more will get involved and voice their opinions with those who can do something about it. We have got to make our government more responsible and accountable." He notes that Big Red would make a great gift or stocking stuffer for those who need a reminder.
