Visualizing The US Debt Ceiling (In $100 Bills)
(Editor's Note: A trillion dollars equates to a stack of $100 bills 678.66 miles high and weigh twenty thousand pounds. A trillion dollar debt is truly preposterous and insane. Obama added ten trillion dollars to the National debt. Obama is, irrefutably, a thief and a disgusting piece of shit. His actions, on behalf of the banksters and the neocons, sealed the fate of the next several generations of Americans who will be born debt slaves. The coming hyperinflation will result in a greatly dimmiinished standard of living for hundreds of millions in the USA. - JSB) The United States owes a lot of money. For now, there is no debt ceiling - it has been suspended - but in 10 days that changes, and who knows what happens then. For some context as to just how much money the US owes - and what the debt ceiling looks like - Demonocracy is back [4]... One Hundred Dollars $100 - Most counterfeited money denomination in the world. Ten Thousand Dollars $10,000 - Enough for a great vacation or to buy a used car. One Million Dollars $1,000,000 - Not as big of a pile as you thought, huh? One Hundred Million Dollars $100,000,000 - Plenty to go around for everyone. The couch is made from $46.7 million of crispy $100 bills. $100 Million Dollars = 1 year of work for 3500 average Americans Here are 2000 people standing shoulder to shoulder, looking for a job. One Billion Dollars $1,000,000,000 - You will need some help when robbing the bank. One Trillion Dollars $1,000,000,000,000 If you spent $1 million a day since Jesus was born, you would have not spent $1 trillion by now... One Trillion Dollars Comparison of $1,000,000,000,000 dollars to a standard sized American Football field. Say hello to the Boeing 747-400 transcontinental airliner that's hiding in the back. This was until recently the biggest passenger plane in the world. You can see the White House with both wings to the right.
US Debt Ceiling - $20+ Trillion in 2017 Statue of Liberty seems rather worried as United States national debt is soon to pass 20% of the entire world's combined economy (GDP / Gross Domestic Product). Here are some cool quotes from cool guys in the past saying the right things about the future and in a sense predicting today:
If the national debt would be laid in a single line of $1 bills, it would stretch from Earth, past Uranus. 122.1 Trillion Dollars $122,100,000,000,000. - US unfunded liabilities by Dec 31, 2012. We have not upgraded the graphics for 2017 because it simply is pointless. The US government has no plan for fixing unfunded liabilites. This number is so far out there that it is uncomprehensible to most readers but a few mathematicians. Above you can see the pillar of cold hard $100 bills that dwarfs the WTC & Empire State Building - both at one point world's tallest buildings. If you look carefully you can see the Statue of Liberty. The 122.1 Trillion dollar super-skyscraper wall is the amount of money the U.S. Government knows it does not have to fully fund the Medicare, Medicare Prescription Drug Program, Social Security, Military and civil servant pensions. It is the money USA knows it will not have to pay all its bills. If you live in USA this is also your personal credit card bill; you are responsible along with everyone else to pay this back. The citizens of USA created the U.S. Government to serve them, this is what the U.S. Government has done while serving The People. The unfunded liability is calculated on current tax and funding inputs, and future demographic shifts in US Population. Note: On the above 122.1T image the size of the bases of the money stacks are $10 billion, and 400 stories @ $4 trillion.

our mission: to widen the scope of financial, economic and political information available to the professional investing public. ...responsibly used. The right to remain anonymous may be abused when it shields fraudulent conduct. but political speech by its nature will sometimes have unpalatable consequences, and, in general, our society accords greater weight to the value of free speech than to the dangers of its misuse. Though often maligned (typically by those frustrated by an inability to engage in ad hominem attacks) anonymous speech has a long and storied history in the united states. used by the likes of mark twain (aka samuel langhorne clemens) to criticize common ignorance, and perhaps most famously by alexander hamilton, james madison and john jay (aka publius) to write the federalist papers, we think ourselves in good company in using one or another nom de plume. particularly in light of an emerging trend against vocalizing public dissent in the united states, we believe in the critical importance of anonymity and its role in dissident speech. like the economist magazine, we also believe that keeping authorship anonymous moves the focus of discussion to the content of speech and away from the speaker- as it should be. we believe not only that you should be comfortable with anonymous speech in such an environment, but that you should be suspicious of any speech that isn't.
