The Public Debt

There's a very informative graphic from the New York Times about the public debt.  It's found at http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2009/11/23/business/20091123_RATES2_graphic.html  It shows the historical debt as a percentage of GDP, and a graph of when the public debt is coming due and at what percent interest.  It's nice to get a real picture of what's going on instead of a bunch of partisan spin.
