I figured that with the media throwing around terms like 700 billion dollars here, or two trillion dollars there it might be nice to show you what that much money actually looks like.

The source for the visuals and most of the commentary may be found at http://www.pagetutor.com/trillion/index.html.

If you want to talk to your congrescritter about this, you can find your representative here: http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml and your senator here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm.

It might be worth noting that at the current rate of taxation and tariff collection we don't raise enough to pay even the INTEREST on the national debt, let alone being reducing the principal.

  • BORING...

  • Learn to count, dumbass! A BILLION is a million million! A MILLIARD is a thousand million! No wonder Americans are in debt!

  • No all of this is bad news! Remember, Americans are NOT liable to pay off this debt! That's a con the U.S. Gov. has played on them! Remember, the U.S. Constitution does NOT apply to you and therefore you are NOT liable to it's bindings. You're therefore paying off someone else's debt!

  • Our congress is and has been full of shit since forever!! They are to ignorant to give America a real change. Not that President Obama change. But a real OVER HAUL!!!

  • Yeah

  • Youtube keeps messing with my comments. Anyone else have the same problem?

  • EVERYBODY!!! Check out this video. MUST watch=>> "30 Important Little Known Facts about America"

  • Though I believe that what you are saying is true , I see no good outcome at just telling our congress about how we feel. It would be at best somewhat better to gather the names of all who are in league with this kind of spending , vote everyone of them out and then confiscate the collective accounts of each of them and use their money to begin paying back that debt.

  • Good information, I'm suprised to see only ONE comment prior. I would like to see more episodes from the poster.

  • good to know...
