When did it become cool to spend more than we bring in?

OK, yeah, gloom and doom stuff, right? Well..... This doc seemed to be pretty non-partisan. It wasn't so much about pointing fingers as much as it was about bringing to light facts and figures that are ignored year after year. It's bad for us to spend more money than we bring in, right? Isn't that what mom and dad taught us? Isn't that common sense? A business that finishes in the red year after year, goes under. Why does the federal government get to do it seemingly without consequences? Oh, wait. There are consequences. A weak dollar, a weak economy, inflation... Holy crap!

If the long term health and security of our economy interests you, you might want to watch the movie...



Or read the book (which is a little more opinionated). Amazon reviews can be found here.
