The Total Animated, Annotated US Debt
With debt ceilings being summarily dismissed and billions and trillions of dollars being thrown around like confetti, we have become almost entirely de-sensitized to the colossal size of the numbers involved (and to be frank de minimus impact from any 'compromise'. In order to comprehend the size of the US Debt load, Demonocracy created this video visualized in physical $100 bills. And you thought a Jumbo-Jet full of cash was a lot...

I wanna see that shit in dolla bills :D
Or better yet pennies!
All these rows, stacks, and pallets of 100 dollars bills...
Who owns them?
Maybe we should go talk to them.
Look what that damn debt ceiling did!! We should get rid of it.
Timmy to Ben: You're gonna need a bigger helicopter.
Now I can see what all the income of working slaves looks like.
Just presented my senior thesis about our rising debt from Keynes fuckass to 16+ trillion and climbing. I scared and enlightened some people. I'd like to thank you all. I will celebrate via more metals purchasing. Eat my ass Keynes.
This was moving, thank you. Shared with everyone I know.
If that doesn't convince you to hold some physical precious medals,nothing will.Take advantage of this pullback and/or any other pullbacks in precious medals.Even if you are poor,don't be discouraged.I myself even continually buy "junk" silver on a regular basis,religiously.Beat up old coins (1964 and under in the States).They're your best bet because there's very little mark up,just the silver content,plus 1 or 2 %.Easy to trade with if a "barter" economy hits us and money becomes worthless.Your scrap or junk silver will be worth it and might save you from starving.Some say it'll never happen,but who knows?The shadow knows...but he's not talkin!Just do yourself a big favor though,for godsake don't put any of it in a safety deposit box at a bank.Believe it or not,the American Government confiscated everyone's gold that was stupid enough to give it to them.It wasn't communist China or Russia,it was your own American Government.Think it can't repeat itself?
Actually, the government paid full value for the gold, in 1933. They didn't confiscate anything. The crime came a little later, when they devalued from $20/oz. to $35/oz.
I tend to go for the precious metals rather than the 'medals' that the Olympic athletes got are 92.5% silver (both gold and silver medals), the gold medals are plated with a minimum of 6 grams of gold. Just saying....
I'll tell you what,
Loan me 100 Million US (dollars), I'll pay you back 103 Million in 100 years. I promise.
It's much more impressive than Buffett's cube of gold.
All the derivatives and debt are meaningless. After the crisis, they will blow away like the leaves in the fall. You should have something very heavy, something that won't blow away with them.
this reminds me, must get that credit card off of the ex wife!
That's nothing. I could spend that in half the time the government could. Just wait until they spend more than 40 percent of our GDP. It's went from 0 percent (pre income tax) of GDP to 40 percent of GDP in just a quick 100 years.
It seems inevitable that the crap will eventually hit the fan, but the key is who to blame. This is much of what the tax argument is about. Demonization. The evil rich. Not so much the banker and politicians though. No, the evil rich people making $200k a year. Those are the bad guys. Tax dodgers, not paying their fair share. Never mind that nearly half pay no income taxes and roughly 40% of people are deriving their income in part or whole from the taxpayers. Its them damn rich people. Obama's next stimulas will likely subsidize pitchfork manufactures with a unearned income tax credit for every rich person forked. Like every good religion, you have to have a devil if you're going to keep your flock in line.
" I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the statue of liberty [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson -- The Debate Over The Re Charter Of The Bank Bill, (1809)
I edited Jefferson's quote to fit the video. By the way 3 pallets would buy the latest 747-8 Intercontinental.
What I see in that sad video is a once great nation brought to it's knees by the belief that Unending Debt Never Needs To Be Repaid.
How could we be more wrong?
How could we be more wrong?
Easy. Just bomb the shit out of several countries in the name of freedom, jesus and the American way, loot their treasuries & resources. Then reinstitute their currency as USD backed. A few false flags do wonders too.
The crude part of the whole FedRes racket is that they print money, the sheeple borrow the money and pay interest and principle back with real/earned money/things. Eventually the sheeple go bust and the FedRes converts the debt into ownership of the real assets held as collateral. In this way the FedRes "system" converts fraud money into real assets.
The whole thing is so perverse and the sheeple can't get enough of it.
+16.3 trillion. Nail hit on head.
The sad reality is that 'we the 99% of people' have reached debt saturation point. We can not absorb any more. Its all very well that the FED doesn't have to pay back the debt its shovelling off to banks, but it don't mean shit when no one can BUY anything from that which the money was supposedly printed for, eg factories and businesses. No more money for joe average, no one spending, no growth.. POOF!
The privaleged few, who own the majority of the worlds wealth will spend up large after deleveraging every last penny they own. The insane amount of money that is floating around in the hands of these 'fucking criminal toilet licking maggots' can only send infaltion to oblivion. Hope you rot in your newly purchased latest fan-dangled, model ACE, sports moded, highest spec'd, bought from the shit channel with a free steam-mop, nano particle ladened, 500 hectare high country stationed, waterfront viewed, double glazed good for nothing pieces of latest shit... assholes!
+5
its all electronic money; one huff, one puff and lady liberty is free from the pig's trough!
Come on huff-puff team!
Screw you Ben and Congress and the criminal bankers. They should all join Bernie Madoff in jail. Buy some gold and/or silver for when the dollar is cheaper to use than toilet paper.

I felt the part where Liberty stood imprisoned by mighty bars of debt was particularly accurate.
