That video made me want to throw up!

I don't think I understood the magnitude of our goobermint's irresponsibility. I knew the numbers but couldn't 'feel' the magnitude.

This video should have 300,000,000 views! Every American should be forced to take 6:32 and watch it.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Great video. Very well done.

It made me a bit choked up actually, thinking of all the people that are hurt. Many of us here are "fine", but there are a lot of hurting people out there that could be LESS hurting with even 10% of that money directed to truly needy individuals.

someone should sort that stack of pennies.

That's just crazy. I always said that the "bailout" money should have went to the tax payers. Let us decide who is "too big to fail"

Really puts things in perspective as my pea brain can't wrap itself around Trillions of dollars.

Great vid. I hope they had a bag source because that's a lot of coin to unwrap!

With all that printing why haven't we seen massive inflation?

That money is not available to the public so it's not driving consumer inflation.

If he creates a website and packages those pennies (1 per package) and sells them, he could probably get quite a bit of money for his venture. Come up with some kind of clever name for the product and sell them for $5-10 each. He could make quite a bit of money. He could even call it a limited edition (1 of 100,000 or whatever the number is).
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
