trafficman Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I just had to ask!!!!Would it be nice to buy LOR and equipment on credit.. LOL As you can tell I dont use credit cards !!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Fischer Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm confused. Why not just use a credit card, if you want credit? Not sure why LOR would want to deal with the hassles and risk of entering the credit business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMeBobO Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Echoing Tim and asking why you are ok with using credit just not in the form of a card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubado Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Use a credit card, it gives you some insurance if the vendor doesn't deliver the goods as promised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Some would say..if you can't pay cash..you shouldn't be buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsinMaine Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Some would say that....But I use credit cards for all my purchases. Get free points for free gift cards and stuff. Plus we pay our cards off every month and acrue no interest. Best of both worlds, BUT I do know a lot of people who should cut up their cards and live by cash only but don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the html code, you see its changing at different speeds. The site is not officially linked to any government site. There website is private, which is a dead give away its a non business site. Plus they state they are not linked to any government site. Those numbers are estimated numbers based on what other years where and guessed at what they dropped or raised.Good question. But impossible to do from a website designers aspect. Think about this. All of that information they claim to have and get it from. Those other sites have to have that data streaming live on the net for others, "usdebtclocks.org" to pick up and stream on their site. And since when does anyone have that kind of live real time data on spending and births, deaths and spending.Again it's all speculation and guessing.

But I think you're barking up a wrong tree here.The data contained on that site is derived from some pretty reliable sources. If you move your mouse over any single category you can see where that particular information comes from. I don't doubt it isn't to the penny, but it's a lot more accurate than guessing.And OF COURSE the government isn't going to show you something like that. But even a simpleton can look at those numbers and see we're in some pretty deep doo-doo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since when does anyone have that kind of live real time data on spending and births, deaths and spending.Again it's all speculation and guessing.About as accurate as you can get and not much guessing needed. "Official" to-the-penny numbers are published online at least EVERY day on the US Treasury's website (yes, an official government website--because we all know that if it comes from the government that it must be the truth!)There may be releases more often than that but that is what they publish on the site. So today's number MIGHT be an estimate based off of yesterday's official number. Either way, present usdebtclock.org number is only 0.1% different from yesterday's official number, and I would venture to say that the official number has already risen that much today. So as much as you don't want to believe it, I bet those usdebtclocks.org numbers are more accurate than your checkbook recording at home.Current official data:http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=np Attached files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your comments are so full of inaccuracies I'm not sure where to begin. :shock:I've only seen the pranks you have pulled off related to Christmas lighting related activities, so can't speak to whether that qualifies you as a "website designer" and skilled enough to pass judgment on someone else's web design work.But if you do a little research and verify the amount of data provided by various govt agencies on a daily basis you'll see it is not all that hard to compile. And there is certainly enough historical data to develop statistical trends, and hence provide the data shown on the clock.If you feel the data is incorrect, then please educate us all as to the more accurate numbers and correct methods of calculation.

trafficman Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 A few years (5) back I paid off every credit card I had and told myself never again. I keep one card in my pocket just for holding a rental car or hotel and its a prepay. I felt it was cool idea if LOR had something in place to do this. I have over 21 boxes now and have always paid cash. This is about the only way I handle it now. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
