Who's On The Hook For Our 9 Trillion Dollar National Debt?

The young Internet savvy voters know that they will be on the hook for paying back the current 9 trillion dollar national (and still growing) debt. As well as the 60 trillion dollars for the out of control entitlement programs.

Dr. Ron Paul advocates a balanced budget and restrained government spending. The problem with grasping the amount of debt we are in, is that very few people can conceptualize the enormous amount of debt we have. 9 trillion dollars of debt such an enormous amount of money to comprehend, it becomes irrelevant. Let me try to help you comprehend it.

If you stack one dollar bills on top of each other, equivalent to the national debt, you will have almost have 4 full stacks of bills that reach from the surface of the Earth to the surface of the Moon. 250 one dollar bills equals one inch. 5,280 feet per mile. 186,000 miles to the Moon. Do the math.
