Debt limit. Short youtube film (Not Valk related)

[Mongo]

A satirical short film taking a look at the national debt and how it applies to just one family.

DEBT LIMIT - A GUIDE TO AMERICAN FEDERAL DEBT MADE EASY.

[Fudd]

Very accurate analogy.

You have to ask yourself, "will I be dead and burried before this rubberband that we are stretching finally pops?"

I feel sorry for our kids who are left holding the bag.

I read something and no do not remember when and where. My daughter who will be 17 years of age in May of 2012 and is still in school and had up to this point in time NEVER had a job is already well over 6 figures in debt. Let that sink in for a moment-in school (a high school junior) NEVER had a job looking forward to college and is well over 6 figures in debt ALREADY!! Hasn't had her first car yet or her first house. And the(again-insert your favorite expletive in this space  ) folks in D C continue to give OUR money away at a pace most of us-including me-can barely fathom/understand or much less condone. Looks like my children/grandchildren/great grandchildren ad nauseum will be left holding this bag af $hit we call the american economy. I greet a lot of new members to this board with-welcome to the insanity. I want to apoligize to everyone of them. The true insanity is between the ears of most politicians and 99.999999999% of the folks in our financial districts. Rant turned down a smidge fer now. RIDE SAFE.

That was spot on.  Just remove 8 zeros and then it compares to a household budget that most everyone can get there head around to understand just how much deep $h!t we are in.
