Free lemonade -- sort of

Matt McClellan hands a cup of lemonade to fellow A&M student Lauren Cox on campus Wednesday during "E-lemon-ate The Debt," a tongue-in-cheek program sponsored by Concerned Youth of America. A cup costs 25 cents, but the customer fills out an IOU, and the debt never has to be repaid. "Hey, it's how the government does it," McCellan says. Concerned Youth of America is taking the show to campuses across the nation to remind people that the $11 trillion national debt continues to swell.
