Before you vote...here's someone explaining about deficits and debt

[rabid1st]

Don't worry, he's not dry or difficult to understand. And, he's also very much in line with what my SO, another of these junior economist people, has explained to me.

I post this, because, Democrat or Republican or Independent, what burns me up about talking politics is how nobody really bothers to look up the numbers and see if they can make any sense of them at all. You can, in this country, go read the laws. You can learn about things like who has our debt and where the oil goes to and comes from and why the President has no say whatsoever in the price of gas. But everyone I talk to just quotes from their own source of propaganda, Fox, CNN, assorted wild-eyed bloggers, etc.

John and Hank Green are excellent at pretty much anything they attempt, even explaining economics.
