LYRICS:
Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling!
Raise da debt ceiling!
14 trillion in debt
but yo we ain’t got no qualms
droppin $100 bills
and million dollar bombs
spending money we don’t have
that’s the name of the game
they call me cumulo nimbus
because you KNOW I make it rain
bail out all kind of cars
got all kind of whips
ladies ask me how I get em
I tell em STIMULUS
Social Security surplus?
Oh, guess what? it’s gone
I got my hands on everything
like Dominique Strauss Kahn
ain’t got no Medicare trust fund
son, that’s just absurd
spending every single penny that
we see, son, have you heard?
ain’t got no moral objections
ain’t got kind of complaints
ain’t got no quantitative
statutory budget restraints
so…
[CHORUS]
Yo, we up in the Fed
and we living in style
Spending lots of money
while we sipping crystal
still making it rain
and yeah it be so pleasing
wait, not making it rain–
we be “Quantitative Easing!”
QE1, QE2
QE4, QE3
Dropping IOU’s
in every fund that I see
printing the cash
inflating the monies
callin up China
“a-yo we straight out of 20′s!”
in the club
we be louding out
while to the market, yeah
we be crowding out
on the beach getting tan
and sipping Corona
we got a monetary plan–
and it involves a lot of toner…
[CHORUS]
So if you look at the chart
and examine the trend
we borrow 40 cents of every
single dollar we spend
and non-discretionary spending
increases every day
do you have a comment for Committee?
I MAKE IT RAIN
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker
would you beam me up?
A Congressperson cutting spending?
Couldn’t dream me up
We’re gonna default
if we follow this road!
I should have thought of this
14 trillion dollars ago!
I’m the king of the links
I’m a menace at tennis
I’m sticking spinnaz on my rims
picking winnaz in business
if you’re looking for some cash
it’s about to get heavy
I got some big ol’ piles of money
and guess what–they shovel ready
[CHORUS]

Peter Schiff: US dives deeper in debt, stimulus makes it worse
Moody’s ratings agency has warned the U.S. it may downgrade its credit rating if Washington doesn’t make progress on dealing with its debt. There’s increased speculation the U.S. will have to raise it’s debt ceiling which was already reached in mid-May. But economist Peter Schiff believes that will only make a bad situation worse…

School House Rocks – Tyrannosaurus Debt
You will find your self singing this tune on your way to work, in the elevator, etc Like the Original School House Rocks it is a catchy song that helps you learn history. Abreviated and maybe not 100% accurate but at least you remember something right.
To help you out, here are the lyrics to help you sing along.
TOUR GUIDE: To your left, folks, is the Washington Monument, to your right, the White House. And over there, just beyond the Capitol, is the National Debt!
TOURISTS: Oooo! Wow!
There’s something huge
Red, white, and blue
That’s grazing in D.C.
It’s gobbling up the taxes
That are paid by you and me
It doesn’t seem to notice
We really can’t afford
The billions that it’s costing us
To pay its room and board
It doesn’t roam
But seems content
To dwell on Capitol Hill
As long as trucks keep pulling up
With tons of green-back bills
We’ve got to feed the big guy
We really can’t forget
It has an awesome appetite
Tyrannosaurus debt
TOUR GUIDE: The debt was born in 1790 when our new government took over 75 million the colonies spent in the Revolutionary War.
We’ve got to feed the monster
So it doesn’t get upset
It’s got an awesome appetite
Tyrannosaurus Debt
TOUR GUIDE: Alexander Hamilton, our first Secretary of the Treasury (he’s on the 10, you know), wanted a federal debt to provide a reason to establish taxes to support our new nation.
The debt was young, they kept it small
They didn’t know back then
In 1812 another war would make it grow again
By ’66 the Civil War had cost the nation millions
The government in Washington now had a debt of billions
TOUR GUIDE: The Civil War ran up a debt of almost three billion dollars that still wasn’t paid off by World War One.
We’re spending money we don’t have
Or so it would appear
The deficit is that amount we overspend each year
Though congressmen and senators
Make vows to cut its size
Despite their honest efforts
The debt just seems to rise
TOUR GUIDE: Now the debt’s over 4 trillion dollars and still growing…
A balanced budget would be great
To spend within our means
To stop the monster in its tracks
Before we bust our seams
It feeds on just the interest
Its appetite is whet
It never, ever stops to rest
Tyrannosaurus Debt
TOUR GUIDE: And this is the U.S. Treasury. It sells Treasury Bonds, bills, and notes, and savings bonds to finance the debt. The U.S. government promises to pay the owner interest plus the value of each bond at a future date.
We’ve got to try to tame the debt
And bring it down to size
To let it grow unchecked like this
Is certainly unwise
The debt’s a monster problem
That we really can’t ignore
I guess we should be grateful
That it’s not a carnivore
We’ve got to keep on servicing
Our trillion dollar pet
It’s got a monster appetite
Tyrannosaurus Debt
A fiscal misadventure
With trillion dollar dentures
Tyrannosaurus Debt
TOUR GUIDE: Feeding time is ALL the time.

Money as debt II Explores the baffling, fraudulent and destructive arithmetic of the money system that holds us hostage to a forever growing DEBT…and how we might evolve beyond it into a new era.
