  • wow i never knew one billion dollars was so much

  • Seriously? MAke it Becks beer and I'm in.

  • National Debt Clock as of 16 Feb 2010 3:10pm "12,492,257,000,000 and counting"!

  • my mates a millionare :D

  • How is counting 1 dollar a second up to a billion (31+ years) not equal to counting to a billion at one a second? (95+ years)

    How did that happened?

  • because once u start counting bigger numbers it takes longer to count!

  • @gredangeo How fast can you say: nine hundred twenty six million, seven hundred forty eight thousand, three hundred fifty two? Get the picture now?

  • @gredangeo

    Well if you listened, he didn't apply that you would count to a billion one a second. You just count with an average speed. There's a big dif

  • besides the math error, that was . . . INSANE

  • Strange how some people still think their government handles in their interest.

    Send those clowns home. Take back all the money stolen from you. It is not hard to prove that the FRS (or FED) is a criminal organization.

  • Someone should educate our US President on what a Billion, and a Trillion really IS!!!!

  • Great except for the caveman crap!

  • But to REALLY understand this stuff go to google video and search "CAFR" and watch "The Biggest Game in Town"

  • Check out YouTube to watch this video of my new song, "Rally Song for Fair Taxes - Concrete Cowboy". This song is dedicated to my very best friend, Merrill Pierce, who is a true concrete cowboy. Merrill has been diagnosed with ALS and every day is a difficult challenge. I'm hoping to raise money from sales of the song to start a scholarship fund for his son, Morgan. Direct additional donations will be very welcomed, too!

  • The math on the stacked billion dollars is WAY off.

    1 bill = 0.0043 inches

    $1 billion = 1 million $1,000 bills

    1 million bills * 0.0043 inches per bill = 4300 inches

    = 358.3 feet

    = 0.068 miles

    = less than one third of the empire state building.

    I'm on your side on this for sure. But I think it's important to present accurate arguments.

  • Comment removed

  • njmiller31 is right. The graphic is actually referring to stacked $1 bills, not stacked $1,000 bills as the narrator says. Oops.

    1 billion, or 1,000,000,000 single dollars times .0043 inches in thickness per dollar is 4,300,000 inches. 4,300,000 inches would be 358,333 feet, which is 67.87 miles.

    The argument looks so much nicer when you stack simple one dollar bills, which people can relate to better then $1,000 bills. I've never seen a $1,000 bill before in real life, that's for sure.

  • no sorry njmiller is wrong...its' crisp 1000 dollar bills

  • Enormity means something is very very bad, incorrect use, or Freudian slip?

  • The National Debt of America is 12,315,316,165,298.20 as of now according to the National Debt Clock.

    A dollar bill is about 0.010922cm thick.

    If we had the debt in dollar bills , it would be 12315316165298 x 0.010922.

    That's 1.345078831 multiplied by 10 to the power of 11. Or 134507883100000000000 centimeters.

    In kilometers , that would be 1345078.831

    The distance to the moon is 384,403 Km.

    Rounded off , that's about Three and a half times the distance to the moon.

    Pay it off.

  • @DoubleGlog Hey, if you have 12 trillion dollar bills lying around, just pay off the debt instead of piling it up to the moon!

  • 12,357,691,144,863.23...as of now...it has increased 42 billion since last week...fingers crossed, we might hit 100 billion this week!!! smh :-(

  • Can't we just donate money to government, instead of wasting tax money.

  • medicare - medicaid - the police and fire - libraries and the us post office

    ..all socialist businesses that everyone says is fine!

    funny to hear republicans say no to any socailist programs when we already have many!

    ups and fed ex didnt wreck the usps

    health ins companies r spending a million a day to confuse us!

    Americans r stupid to blame the current president - he inherited many problems

    mccain wouldnt have taxed us at all. so he would have to spend spend spend also

  • Actually it's not "Western system" that is the problem. The problem is Socialism as the burden requires that credit be obtained and then the payments on that credit end up being made by more credit due to the ballooning of the programs. Like paying your credit card bill with another credit card.

  • the irony. a western system may make the western world collapse.

  • There we go.

    in the carter years, they printed 13% more money, which resulted in 20% interest rates to reverse inflation.

    our new president has increased the money supply by 120%.... what will interest rates be to combat inflation on this level? ..it doesnt work, it is all a set up CLOWARD-PIVEN strategy folks

    CHECK OUT MY CONSERVATIVE RAP, SPREAD THE NEWS AND WAKE UP THE YOUTH!

  • Hey whats up! I loved your channel!

    Its cool. Check out mine! Stay in touch. Hope you got my friend request! Maybe you can sub thanks This is for everybody that see this

  • The government spent $173 billion in 2009 on interest owed on our national debt, and will spend an estimated $400 billion on interest over the next three years.

  • Join The Free Enterprise Nation in fighting against wasteful government spending and in advocating for the real backbone of our economy - the private sector employers and employees!

  • A lot of this is grossly inaccurate.

  • Some of it is. For example 1billion dollars worth of 1000 dollar bills is only 1 million notes which would not reach anywhere near 63 miles into the earth's atmosphere. If each note was 1mm thick, one million thousand dollar notes would reach 1km high. They should have said a billion dollars worth of $100 notes. Though it is a gross inaccuracy it does not follow that the other things are false.

  • Yeah, that was the main one I noticed (the stack of bills).

  • Because the Federal Reserve does not want to cause Hyperinflation, unless you do? So just leave the country. Issuing higher denominations causes HIGH inflation. We don't have a 10,000 bill and you wish to issue a $1,000,000,000,000(trillion) bill? There wouldn't even be enough room to put all the numbers in the four corners of the bill. Please use common knowledge, Inflation=BAD

  • Funny how neither party is concerned about the debt until the OTHER party is in charge. I hate them both.

  • In the Bible it says that the Earth is less than 1 million years old {Fact} I believe do you Y/N ?

  • no, and just for the record the bible claims a man lived for a week in a giant fish. if you are going to use the bible as a substitute for thinking, try not to take it so literally. theres alot of crazy shit in that book...

  • It's worth noting that the Bible speaks metaphorically.

    On top of this, the Bible was not originally written in English. A lot of the meaning has been lost, as the translation is not 100% accurate.

    The only way to read the Bible is with an open mind and in it's original language. You can't really call it "crazy shit" until having first accomplished this.

  • the bible is a load of shit

  • lol

  • well done.

  • One mistake in this video is that it says it would take you 95 years to count to a billion but it says anyone younger than dob of 1960 is a billion seconds old. Most people will count at about a number a second wouldnt they?

  • no... try saying 128,634,355 in one second

  • good point, but bigster is right lol

  • $12 trillion is written in figures as

    $ 12,000,000,000,000 ( US foreign debt)

    $ 2.1 trillion in foreign reserve for China

    $2,100,000,000,000

  • Search for US DEBT FORMULA

  • cool vid.

  • well im done im moving to japan or france when i turn 18.cant beleive our ELECTED fools spend this much cash.

  • Japans national debt is a hell of alot worse mate

  • dane is it really?well screw me over when are we gonna start colonizing mars?

  • Well if that's true I guess we have nothing to worry about...

  • Comment removed

  • No, $100,000 is 1/10 of a million dollars, $100,000 is 1/1000 of a billion dollars, get your facts straight.

  • its 1/10,000 and btw the idiot who corrected u was wrong :)

  • no its not

  • @410Alfa thats a million

  • It's now 12T guys.. Just now.

  • The national debt is at 11.8 trillion. What are we going to do about it???

    If you put it on a number line and say 1 billion is 6 inches, can you guess where just ONE trillion would be?

    500 FEET TO THE RIGHT!!!!!

    What are we going to do??

  • Oh, my gosh.

  • i like money

  • I can't believe you like money too.

  • ok so what are we going to do about it?

  • go ask obama

  • Well there are a few ideas, one would be for Congress to stop paying interest on the debt, interest is the fuel that is exploding the debt, then we could progress on paying off the debt. Secondly would be for Congress to create money to fund public works, it could create it debt free and interest free. But how without inflation you may ask, well congress must regulate it's value, the power to create money includes this regulatory power.

  • now keep in mind...this is billions of dollars

    usa is trillions(not billions but trillions)

  • Comment removed

  • because you like porn

  • haha free market it a trap.. companies use it to cross borders and exploit needed people, and to outsource jobs keeping their companies in american soil so when they fuck up american people go and make wars to help them keep crossing borders and the sory goes on... freedom is not so free.

  • We're screwed

  • Very succinctly put.

  • 95 years to count to i billion come on!!

  • Well give it a try and see how long it takes.

  • in the US it is actually unconstitutional to tax somone's income ( Income Tax ). I know this isnt relevant to the video but it's a point I want to share. No US resident is forced by any law or by law to pay income tax either. The only reason most people pay it is because it's just the cycle they've fallen into like many others. Stand up for your rights, stand up to your corrupt government, next income tax payment tell them to fuck off, you're protected by the laws of your country to do so.

  • it is "constitutional" because we are "corporations" thus we are subject to "corporate income tax", that is, the money we make is considered corporate activity which is, constitutionally, taxable. I don't think I am a corporation, but uncle sam does.

    I wouldn't go ahead with the tax evasion plan...theyll give you a nice comfy jail cell for a long time

  • Currently, the combined, unfunded liabilities of the US work out to about $1 million per WORKING American. Should we be offering "free" healthcare to everyone too? A collapse is coming. Forget gold. Got food and ammo?

  • ha the usa is in way more debt than canada

  • usa is way more in debt than anyone what are u talkin about

  • We are pass the point of recovery, so just hang on and prepare for alot worse to come.. After the economy crashes and the dollar is worthless, remember not to take the mark.. The goverment will try to use a shared wealth credit type system to control and monitor everyone..

  • Thomas Jefferson said

    "Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms (of government) those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny"

    "we must not let our leaders load us with perpetual debt"

    and they current have the technology to be injecting little nano bugs into the swine flu vaccine if they really wanted too

    whether or not people want to believe it we are fucked

    Go listen to this song now!!

    Diabolic - the truth

  • China doesn`t want to "own us" or for the U.S.A. to fail.. China loves that we buy all their junk.. The american consumer is the only thing keeping the chinese economy going..

  • Buy Gold the dollar is worthless and after Obama is done China will own us.

  • that is freakin amazing!!!!!!!

  • I can't see our Government spending less than it receives in taxes.That of course is the only way to pay down the national debt.A total collapse of our economy is just around the corner.Most don't believe it but is true.

  • Only GIFT ECONOMY can save us - FREE WATER, FREE FOOD, FREE LAND, FREE GOLD, FREE EDUCATION... are our real BIRTHRIGHTS. Working out of passion for FREE is motivating (look wikipedia). Start GIVING, SHARING! The ABUNDANCE is for all 7 billion people immediate! no manipulations (religious, political, economic, medical...) are needed any more!

  • How much UNITED STATES Debt? 50 Trillion dollars...?

    How much US OWES CHINA...?

  • Do the numbers scare you? Call your senator and congressman TODAY and tell them to stop the spending. They will listen to all of us.

  • i call once a week! every week.

  • check my vids

  • WOAH!!!!

  • yeah obama must have a lot of patients if he thinks he can solve our problems... i hope he can do it U.U'

  • the debt wont be payed of for a long long time

  • It'll never be paid off as long as we have a central bank.

  • The "central bank" concept is not the problem! Giving authority to a private bank (Fed Reserve) "to coin Money" & "regulate the Value thereof" in violation of the US Constitution is!

    If the people owned their own central bank, the peoples Gov't could borrow from it without paying interest! In controlling the ability to coin money & regulate the Value thereof you could charge interest to the private bankers whod have to borrow from the publicly owned central bank!

    Its a no-brainer!

  • What a major debt!! I bet the government is like "DAMN, I WISH WE COULD JUST GO BACK TO SLAVERY AGAIN! THAT WOULD SOLVE THIS WHOLE PROBLEM."

  • We are already in slavery. If so why do we need to work?

  • The gov't already has you as a slave - a tax paying wage-income slave.

    Since the Income Tax Act was introduced the US Gov't has shifted the tax burden from "profit-income" (business & corporate) taxes to "wage-income" taxes (you)!

    Who makes more money?!?

    In 1934 wage-income taxes amounted to 15% of gov't revenues as did profit-income taxes.

    In 1945 they were 40% & 35% respectively!

    In 2009 revenues est. to be 47.6% (wage-income tax) and 11.4% (profit-income tax)!

    (GPO Access data)

  • Very good...but are you liable for that tax?

  • You are right on. Did you know that more than 50% of corporate taxes go unenforced and uncollected each year? The experts say that just those missed taxes since 2004 could pay down half our country's debt!!!!!!

  • "THEEE experts"

  • Debt consolidation can be a really useful tool for many people, the key is of course to do a little homework and make sure you're not dealing with a rip off merchant.

    consolidationnetwork . com

    has many useful links for debt consolidation comapnies

  • Great Video but your wrong about counting to a billion you said about a billion seconds ago it was 1959, you also said if you sat and counted to a billion it would take 95 years . 1959 40 years ago and you said it was that about a billion seconds ago so how would it take you from 40 to 95 years

  • How long does it take you to say, "seven hundred and eighty seven million, three hundred and ninety two thousand, one hundred and sixty three"? More than a second, right?

    Ninety five years sounds about right.

    David Walker is pretty good with numbers.

  • Someone else that understands english :) I was going to type the same response, then I read yours.

  • 1 billion seconds is less than 32 years.

  • It would take more than one second to pronounce the larger numbers completely. For example: nine hundred seventy two million, four hundred sixty nine thousand, five hundred twelve would take over five seconds to say.

  • Watch Congressman Pete Stark blow up when Jan Helfeld asks him why Stark believes, "the more we owe, the wealthier we are."

  • Actually, national debt is around 50 trillion if you count the money stolen from the american people every day.

  • attykon

    yeah, i've heard that the projected spending commitments of snobama would place the US' liabilities around 57 trillion.

  • now this video wasnt even close to the time spand that they where talking about but for me it was way to damn long

  • Did you know Youtube, is some 400 million dollars in debt this year, but they still continue to bring profits onto loyal partners. Not a proffessional company at all and I think they outa be ashamed of themselves just like the governments who helped bring forward a different kinda debt. Google owns a small fraction of Youtubes debt

  • Very good insight to show where things are heading

  • you know what galls me... if these morons in DC who are spending the US into enormous debt actually just gave a million bucks to ever single citizen of the US it would do alot more towards stimulating the economy, and save the tax payers BILLIONS!

    there are only about 300 million people in the whole country...and that so-called stimulus cost about 1 trillion.

  • aaahahaha, well what can I say.. good luck? ;P why arent people fleeing!? or are they? nothing falls as hard as a giant you know

  • 0no1one

    actually, people are fleeing, or at least thier money is fleeing. people are laying low and moving thier money out of the US and into safer places. who wants to be stuck holding dollars when this giant collapses?

  • I am buying land in another country then moving there when the time is right and using my money to open a business that will cost less($15,000) to open then in America.

  • sercam1985

    i am hearing this from other people. people are also moving money out of the US, and US companies.

    gee, i wonder why? could it be because obama is an idiot? yep.

  • the first figure on how long it would take for "us" to pay off a billion dollars at 1 dollar a day is way to inaccurate of a figure

  • It's 1 dollar per second every day. Not inaccurate. $86,400 per day.

  • I know what we should do! Spend MORE money!

    gee, isn't "bankrupt" obama great?

  • The Congressman Ron Paul who wants govt to get out everything and do nothing is the same guy who requested 8 million $ in govt money in FY 2007 for wild shrimp marketing.

    Where in the US Constitution does it say govt should get involved in marketing shrimp ?

  • Not that I really care, but didnt your current president inherit as good as all the debt from his line of predecessors?

  • one1one

    actually, no obama did not inherit debt comparable to what he has run up on the tax payer's credit card.

    in truth, obama has spent more money then all previous presidents combined - from 1789 until GW.

  • Our America secums to debt 10 1/2 Trillion in Debt.

  • the debt is not at 11.5 trillion...and now obama wants a 2nd stimulus, you know, cuz the 1st one worked sooooooooo welllll.

  • All money is loaned to the US government by the federal reserve AT INTEREST. Therefore, to pay this interest back to the federal reserve, the us government must borrow more money to pay the interest on the money already in circulation. The national debt can never be paid back. Mind bending, ey?

  • i have one thing to say, usa is fucked

  • and i'm moving to japan.

  • lol why was this marked as spam?

  • Short and to the point

  • What is the name of the piece of music on this video?

  • Awesome video! Thank you!

    Campaign for liberty!

  • Mate - check your facts before wasting your time and ours. 1 billion seconds ago it was 1977, not 1959. Your stack of $1billion in $1000 dollar bills would be 63 miles high only if each note were 4 inches thick! Your stack was $1trillion. (Also, the view of the Earth behind the stack in your visual makes the stack look about 10,000 miles high rather than 63 miles high.)

  • You win, he loses.

  • both you fuckers have no life and probably jack off to hungry hungry hippos and jello.

  • OK - I understand how you know I don't have a life: you must be very familiar with the symptoms. But how on Earth did you know about the hippos?

  • hah well done

  • Hey SciFive, Your wrong on the first part... He posted this video January 20, 2008.... so it was right then, wrong now. But i agree with you on the rest.

  • 1 billion seconds prior to 01/20/2008 was 05/05/1976. Sorry bro, SciFive was right. Also, when you say "your" like you did in your sentence to SciFice, it should be spelled "you're" as to say mean "you are." Have a good one.

  • Ummm 1976? You said SciFive was right in his statement that it was 1977... Forget what I said earlier, and by the way I know how to spell.... But when did youtube become my English class? Seriously that is annoying. At least I don't spell like some of these losers on here who luv to tipe lik dis. Thank you very much.

  • SciFive was off a few months, you were off a couple decades. You're right though, I shouldn't be your English teacher, how about being merely your math teacher!! Seriously, what's annoying is someone getting on here who can't use a calculator telling someone else that they are wrong.

  • Hahaha this is so pointless. Arguing with you when I don't even know you.. So I made a mistake... So what? So did the guy in the video. I didn't use a calculator, in fact I didn't even bother with the math. I solely 'assumed' SciFive forgot to take the post date into account. But none of that matters. I'm sorry though. Sometimes I get so caught up in my opinions for nothing. Well nice chatting with you insurancedaddy. Sorry again.

  • you need to get a life "insurance daddy"

  • I have a life, a really good one....thanks. Don't hate just because while I was learning how to do basic math, you were chasing monster trucks and mud wrestling with your redneck buddies.

  • 9,979,000,000,000(Projected debt from Obama himself)*6.6in(1 dollar) =65,861,400,000,000inches/12= 5,488,450,000,000 feet/5280 (feet in a mile)= 1,039,479,166.667/365,000,000 (distance from earth to jupiter in miles)=2.85. that's almost from earth, to jupiter, then back to earth, then one more time back to jupiter. And this is life our children and us are going to live?

  • exactly

  • If this video scares you, then you must be with the rest of the sheep and believe in the Illuminati and all of the conspiracy theory's that clouds the thinking of your real potential, so get with it and live your lives to its fullest. disregard anything that the media propaganda machine feeds you.

  • maybe, theodric, except this is reality, and there ARE such things as mathematics and numbers. "live your lives to its fullest" sounds wonderful in a storybook, but doesn't mean too much in the real world without a brain and action to back it up.

  • awsome video RON PAUL 2012

  • Hell yeah!

  • whos ron paul

  • A genius. Look him up.

  • how can i say this in 3 words.....

    oh like this

    WE ARE FUCKED!!!!

  • yes,if you continue tu "play the game".but i vant to say you something:change your perception and ask may quascion. what is money,how much is worth?

  • Join the online protest at WallStreetStrut c o m - I am curious what earnings potential of our tax base that will be used to apy down this debt. It's hard to believe we are this far in the hole in just 8 years.

  • Obama carries the MARKS OF THE BEAST.

    This video will change your life and also the world soon.

    See it at my page's video.

  • lol

  • What is a billion? According to the French, it is one million million or 1.0x 10 to the power of twelve.

    An American billion is one thousand million dollars or 1.0x 10 to the power of nine.

  • 10^12 is 1,000,000,000,000, or one trillion, which is a million, million if I am not mistaken.

    A billion in the English language is on thousand million.

  • ok are debt willl nevvver be paid off

  • Come take part of the most viewed video THEONEBILLIONANDMOREVIEWSVIDEO Benefits will be given to people who need food and care..the more you clic the more you give :)

  • we're screwed !!!!!!!!!!!

  • great video

  • Who needs to wait on money when you can borrow it from china?! Think of all the time you could spend killing muslims and oppressing other races waiting for taxpayer dollars!

  • The solution to the problem is so simple it beggers belief - just move east of the mississipi.

  • have you noticed how small cookies and food items have gotten?.

  • well bama and them are all kin to each other.... litterally. google zfacts. its going on 12 trillion now. the intrest is so high if you divide the u.s down the middle it takes the whole left side just to pay the interest.

  • obama has put more debt on this nation then bush did in 8 years

  • You're an idiot - when you grow up and get an education you'll see how wrong you are. Get a brain and stop listening to ignorant people tell you that Obama is the reason we're in so much debt. You want to go another 8 years with Bush - go to another planet and see where your debt climbs to. Bush stole trillions and we'll never see that money again. Do some research and you'll see it clearly. Republicans want to keep that same hemorrhaging system. The rest of us want our money back. Thank u Obama
