A billboard in New York City’s Times Square warns of the “ticking time bomb” that is the $34 trillion national debt.
Released by the nonprofit Committee to Unleash Prosperity (CTUP) group, the ad campaign includes a 50-f00t-high billboard that will run for three months in Times Square. The digital billboard features a video of people running away in fear of a giant countdown of the national debt until it finally explodes in oblivion. Take a look:

"But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services. We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation." - Ben Bernanke (14th chairman of the Federal Reserve from 2006 to 2014)

THEY NEED TO UP IT ANOTHER $1TRILLON.
