Big Red – The Official Calculator of the National Debt On Shelves Just in Time for Friday’s Treasury Deficit Announcement
Editor’s Note: On Friday Sept. 11, the Treasury Department will announce its Monthly Treasury Statement for August, including deficit and national debt data.
MONTROSE, Colo. – If you want to compute the national debt, you can’t use just any calculator. It now takes 16 digits to calculate just what we owe as a nation, making virtually every other calculator you’ve ever used obsolete. And Friday’s Monthly Treasury Statement will almost certainly add to the bad news.
But Colorado entrepreneur Matt Miles has developed Big Red – The Official Calculator of the National Debt, with the 16 digits needed to compute the debt. Big Red is on shelves now at bigredcalcultor.com and Amazon, so people can actually see for themselves how big the debt is, and so they can make a point with friends and family.
“I originally developed Big Red as a stocking stuffer present for my friends and family, but I had to order many more than I needed, so I decided to put the extras up for sale,” Miles said. “We’re already seeing lots of interest, so I’m ordering more.”
Big Red – The Official Calculator of the National Debt not only has great features like tax calculation, mark up and replay – in addition to its 16‐digit display – but it also makes a great gift for that friend, family member or government official who needs to wake up to just how huge the national debt is.
Each day, to keep the debt in mind, your friend can add an additional $2.4 billion to the debt, reminding them just how much deeper we’ve gotten into debt since the day before. If that doesn’t jump them into action and change minds, it’s hard to believe anything will.
At $12.99, Big Red – The Official Calculator of the National Debt is available online at bigredcalculator.com or through Amazon.
