National Debt

Spooky classroom commercial from DefeatTheDebt. And the little kids say:

I pledge allegiance to America?䬺s debt, and to the Chinese government that lends us money. And to the interest, for which we pay, compoundable, with higher taxes and lower pay until the day we die.

Well, debt “stinks,” all right—but it’s kinda cute!

Rick Berman and the “Employment Policies Institute” is behind this. They don’t have a track record of helping the average (non Globalized Elite) American.

I just heard this ad. It is absolutely objectionable!!! Based on this ad alone I would vote the other way. I would love to be able to discuss this with the SOB in person.

Dangerous Minds is a compendium of the new and strange–new ideas, new art forms, new approaches to social issues and new finds from the outer reaches of pop culture. Our editorial policy, such that it is, reflects the interests, whimsies and peculiarities of the individual writers. And sometimes it doesn't. Very often the idea is just "Here's what so and so said, take a look and see what you think." I'll repeat that: We're not necessarily endorsing everything you'll find here, we're merely saying "Here it is." We think human beings are very strange and often totally hilarious. We enjoy weird and inexplicable things very much. We believe things have to change and change swiftly. It's got to be about the common good or it's no good at all. We like to get suggestions of fun/serious things from our good-looking, high IQ readers. We are your favorite distraction.
