Congressman Mike Kelly has a “national debt clock” on his web page purporting to show our nation's growing debt. Why bother? Kelly and many of his GOP brethren are fake fiscal conservatives.

A “debt clock” in Berlin, run by German tax lobbyists to shame the government into reining in spending, is falling for the first time in its 22-year history. In a sign of Berlin's famously tight fiscal discipline, it shows public coffers moving into the black at a rate of €78 per second. At this pace it would take some ...
