Topic: Needed: National Debt Widget

I have an idea for a new widget if someone whats to take a stab at it...


It would display the US national debt and the US world population and then would divide the population into the debt to determine each persons $share.   The plugin could also show if the debt is increasing or decreasing (and by how much), from the last time the widget last ran.  A graphic arrow could show the UP or DOWN trend.

"The Nationl debt INCREASED by 11,500 dollars since the last time this was displayed".

These web sites can be "scraped" for the data:

Thanks,

Re: Needed: National Debt Widget

Related to that, there's a ton of population, biological, and economic data on this page that might be used for similar widgets:

There are also other clocks (life expectancy & food production) on other pages here. See links at bottom of page.
