That and Economics....

What Economic Lessons our kids do get in N America are mostly on Television and usually sound something like ``no money down & and no payments for 2 years ``
unless they go to college....

In Japan... they don`t know what a Credit Card is.... they have been using Debit Cards for years

Makes you wonder how much control Finance Institutions have over your Governments...
Who of course have control over your Education Institutions...

Have they sold us uot for a few pieces of silver

If the government was a person (as Romney say corporations now are) it would be declared INSANE and locked in a rubber room.

[gringal]

Yep. Rubber Room.

Romney is sort of right. Legally, a corporation is a "person", isn't it?

If we ran our personal finances the way they do "out there", we'd never have to worry about spending too much, would we? Just raise our ceiling, head for the printing press in the back room and borrow from our neighbors. BTW: I'm not taking sides here: they're ALL guilty of poohing the scrootch.

Just too bad they can't start WWII again and put everybody to work like they did during the last Great Depression. Roosevelt's recovery programs were declared unconstitutional, but War was okay. Don'tcha love it? Head scratching.

NEVER intended it as taking sides...

Simply a visual aide to a Mathematical Nightmare everyone knows about, but few seem to really grasp...

Not saying Dems or Reps are responsible but something more that cosmetics need to be done with the debt... it is snowballing... every second of every day

I think some Politicians need Economics 101 ... and seriously re-evaluate spending habits

Maybe start them on elementary addition, subtraction and multiplication. Economics can become delusional in the right hands.
Y'know, like the MBA's who convinced U.S. industry that their assbottom line would look rosy if they just shipped most of the work overseas, cut corners on the quality, created planned obsolescence and and.............
