Simplification

via Mint.com comes this video that tries to explain to us the sheer size of just exactly how much money we've pissed away because the goddamn free market apparently has this provision whereupon real estate doesn't rocket up in value for eternity. They introduce us to our new friend: Mr. Trillion. We've used quite a few of him to cover up all our financial sector problems. Plus they helpfully explain things in the only way we dumb Americans actually understand anything economic: by comparing financial problems and scale in terms of coffee and coffee based products.

And remember, all we got for this massive expenditure was for the economy to stop twitching for a few seconds. We didn't even get a new destructive bomb or war in Europe in which we could use said bomb.
