[JALLEN]

PowerLineBlog recently held a competition for $100,000 for whomever could most effectively and creatively dramatize the significance of the federal debt crisis.

Several entries have gotten a lot of attention, but the one that has gone most viral so far is "The Doorbell." If you haven't yet seen it, you may watch it here. Its 59 seconds long.

That's good. I had a teacher in Jr. High who talked about the debt and said it would never be repaid. To demonstrate she proposed that anyone who would write out in notebooks from 1 to a million would receive an automatic "A" in her class. Most started writing... a few days later she provived the figures on how many tablets, how many hours, how many pens ect. I remember it was something to the effect, If you never slept, just continued to write you could not have reached a million by the end of the trimester. This was back when a billion was real money and a trillion was only used in terms of space/stars.
