About Me
- Name: Mr. Carlisle
- Location: Portland, Oregon, United States
I'm a native South Carolinian and I attained my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of South Carolina. I taught fourth grade for two years in the Mississippi Delta and two years at an alternative high school in Western North Carolina. I have been at Tigard High School since the fall of 2003, where I teach U.S. History and Psychology.

The only way I see this working out, the debt, with out government plans to get ridd of it is if other counties start a war with us and lose with out much of a fight. I don't want wars with other counties so the government should do something. Also I see this as another example of human irrationality (gold is not all that useful or rare but valued) we have debt but are economy is rated "ok" and the government spends that way, its equivalent to a person being in debt but still buying cable tv!!

Ha! I bet this little girl will never take things that aren't hers ever again. Elementary school reputation=ruined! Anyways, the sign was an extreme and unusual form of punishment, but I do think that dad had good intentions. He just wasn't very tactful in the way he tried to teach his daughter a lesson. I don't think he should be arrested or anything, just given a warning.

I'm a little skeptical about the debt clock. How do I know that it isn't just programed to increase its debt a little bit each second? We were going in debt by thousands of dollars each second it just seems like its just a bit dramatic.

The clock is interesting, I don't fully understand all the numbers but it the U.S. really droping that much money per second? I clicked on Oregons clock and it looks pretty good, until you come to the unemployed number and how many people are on food stamps.

There's a lot of big numbers and apparently in Oregon we each owe over $8,000, but I don't fully understand the debt clock.

I owe at least $50,000 and I haven't graduated yet...
I don't think the the clock is programmed to just increase every half second. But, I'm not sure where it's pulling its sources. I'm most skeptical about the debt numbers of other nations. Where are they getting that information?

Sheesh, it never goes down, it always goes up!!!

It is crazy to see how much money the U.S. owes. I still don't full understand the debt clock, but I would like to since I have to pay for the U.S. debt in my future.
