Credit Limit Made Simple
From Tim Andrews on Monday, December 14, 2009 5:21 PM
The Heritage Foundation has put together this great clip explaining, in plain English, just what exactly credit is proposing to do by raising the credit limit by another $1.1 trillion:
You wouldn't run your home or community this way - why would you run a country?
Well worth a watch.

That's a good video--stuffmadesimple.com has good stuff, and do a good job of explaining things simply. Kudos to Heritage for this one. It's important, too, however, to remember that tax-financed spending diverts money away from investment as much as deficit-financed spending. As Milton Friedman said, we'd be better off with a $1 Trillion budget, and $300 billion deficit, than a $2 Trillion budget that is entirely paid for by taxes.
