Don’t watch this if you’re in a good mood. Knowing how and why our government created and responded to the debt crisis doesn’t make it easier to stomach.

This video completely ignores the effects of the Bush tax cuts. Take a look at the above image before you try to tell me those people at the top somehow can’t afford to clean up the mess they’ve made.

Salty a year agoWow this is really stupid and misleading. I like how it’s acting like this recession is related to debt and inflation. We have been seeing no inflation and have been on the edge of DEFLATION since the recession. More importantly, a government is NOT a middle class household and its debt activities cannot be compared to one.

I got 45 seconds in and found two inaccuracies that any high school econ student should be able to spot. This is right-wing propaganda.

VashTSChacon a year agoIm hoping for two things: people (politicians and their misguided supporters) stop their self interests and hard line a proper fix, or they just release the zombie virus because I’m tried of all this shit.

Bradley A. a year agoI like the idea of a simple explanation of the facts without an agenda. Unfortunately, this explanation is a little glib.
For one thing, the US has no problem paying the interest on its debts.
Also, There is no debt crisis! The whole debt ceiling debate was just political theater on both sides.
Here’s a more accurate explanation of the reasons behind the debt ceiling deal and our public debt if you’re interested:
