16 Tons of American Debt As Obama Keeps Increasing Federal Debt



Just how big is our National Debt? $14,300,000,000,000. IowaHawk explains that is equal to 16 million tons of $1 Bills. He has set his explanation to the wonderful song, “16 Tons,” by Tennessee Ernie Ford.

Really well done video of this.

And the scary thing too is that from the time the video started until it was finished the debt amount has grown.

Think of it another way all of the current US Navy ships do not weigh 16 million tons.

Don't forget that only half of US households pay taxes; you have to doubble that number to 32 tons
