One Trillion Dollars: A Tenth of the Bailout
I wanted to pass this video along, to give us all a little perspective on the historical amount of money our government is pumping into a failed system. We keep propping up reckless banks and corporations too large to exist, but do we ever take a second to think about how much money that really amounts to? That’s not today’s taxpayer money, either – that’s debt for our great-grandchildren to pay off, which is morally repugnant to say the least.
My thanks to Jeremy for showing me this video, as well as Phil and the people at Mint.
