Out of control

Boy did this ever get my attention.
Regular readers might remember the New Year’s wish I offered up, back in January.
It was about debt–about not getting even deeper into debt.
Well, some powerful people in supposedly responsible capacities are, pretty much, saying, “Screw that!”

Take a look at this mind-numbing website. Take a look at how those in charge of the U.S. Treasury are dealing with debt. The images portrayed on this website, and the message they convey, are quite simply of the eye-popping, staggering category.

Click the image. If you dare.

It’s responsibility shirked, it’s debt out of control. It’s ridiculously massive recklessness all made crystal clear.
And that’s what makes those graphics so powerful, they tell a complicated story, and tell it in a way we can all understand.
And what a scary story it is.
