Image if the Berlin Wall was reconstructed with stacks of $100 dollar bills. If we used the US national debt, we could build this wall twice.
Pundits have been using odd metaphors to describe our country’s dire financial position ever since we started attempting to grasp the intangible numbers associated with the debt and deficits. Most people haven’t even seen $1000, much less $1 million.
The Berlin Wall metaphor offers more than a visual representation of a monstrosity of money 67 miles long, 12 feet tall, and eight inches thick; it symbolizes the amassing barrier standing between my generation and the future of the American dream.
The “road to serfdom” is starting to resemble a superhighway, and our financial freedoms will continue to crumble with every dollar we add to this $13 trillion wall.
