With Congress about to vote on whether to raise the current $14.3 trillion national debt ceiling, Mothers Against Debt thought it helpful to put this fiscal child abuse into perspective. We've updated our original "Baby Ball-and-Chain" video. Be sure to watch to the end, the new numbers are sobering. For more information visit www.MothersAgainstDebt.com.

  • This video is misleading! It's true that U.S. government debt keeps increasing, but this is ONLY because of the right-wing takeover of our government. The billionaires have got themselves some nice tax cuts since 1981, thus destroying the middle class. Government spending has brought us out of the Dark Ages. Now we need a president who can stand up to the American right-wing so that we can finally take from the rich what they have stolen from us!

  • All money Colombia owes to America is ours and we need it now!!!

  • in 1950, the 1595.00 adj for inflation is 15k for 2010, compared to the actual 40k.

    So, since your numbers are not inflation adjusted, there is a tripling of debt 1950-2010, compared to what you are "illustrating" a 25x increase.

    I agree with your ideas, but just be honest about the presentation.

  • AS OF 10:54 pm ON SUNDAY, JULY 31 THIS CONGRESS HAS DECIDED TO SELL US OUT AGAIN IN RAISING THE DEBT CEILING.

    Let us organize a march onto Washington. Contact me at chipprr1986@yahoo.com

  • @warpeace7 Ron Paul is America's only hope for saving our Republic-that's why Liberals and Elites will do everything to BLOCK him from being the next Pres.

  • Obama is spending $3 Trillion/YR(he wants more tax)-Our tax dollars=only $1.5 Trillion/YR, Tea Party(trying to save Amer.) wants to cut Big Gov Spending but Liberals want to keep spending on Hand outs &free everything to Non WORKING-since only Working MIDDLE Class is Paying taxes-Liberal's will keep over spending all taxes to NON WORKING-that will erode the $ to become worthless. The liberal attitude is a PLAN for Self Destruction& Economic Collapse& Civil WAR but that was always their PLANS!

  • lets quit capitalism.

  • Ron paul should run the USA I hope he wins this time

  • raising the debt limit merely postpones the inevitable bankruptcy. A Ponzi scheme only gets longer life from new investments. The Fed hid $8.4 trillion from Congress last year. That sounds like embezzlement. Ref. 3w scribd dot com doc/490400689
