Lady liberty holds down her torch and is dumbstruck by the sight.


Wow, that is an excellent video that puts things in perspective....


Imagine if each and every 315-million Americans (every man, woman and
child) were given a single $100 bill each week-day by the US gov't.

Five clean, fresh Benjamins every week.

For each of the 52 weeks in a year.

For 2 years.

If you stacked up all those $100 bills, you get *exactly* this prison of
money surrounding Lady Liberty.

$16.369 trillion dollars

Which right now is the Federal Debt Limit - and where the federal debt
currently stands.

This is federal debt only. *Add state and local debts to get the total
public debt.

So where is all this money?

Why isin't it circulating?


Because it's piled up around the Statute of Liberty, dumb ass.
