The National Debt Clock in New York City is a prominent billboard-sized display that showcases the United States gross national debt and each American family's share of the debt. Originally installed in 1989 near Times Square by real estate developer Seymour Durst, the clock has since been relocated to One Bryant Park in Manhattan.
This iconic clock serves as a non-partisan reminder of the growing national debt, with its display updated regularly to reflect the latest figures published by the United States Treasury. The project was conceived as a way to draw attention to intergenerational equity and the long-term impact of the national debt on future generations.
