Schoolhouse Rock: "Tyrannosaurus Debt"

Kind of cute, but I don't like the way it implies that the debt is an ongoing problem. The debt is an ongoing problem, of course, but the kind of staggering, jaw-dropping debt we now face is an entirely new one.

Seems to me the last thing you should be telling people is "We've had this same problem in the pretty much the same form since the War of 1812." If that's the case, gee, I guess we can keep on limping along with it a bit, eh?

Correction: Not a Parody! It's a real Schoolhouse Rock, from the 90s (didn't know they were making them then).

That's why it's not pounding on Obama.

Oops. I figured it was a parody. Apologies.

Thanks to Drew for straightening out my loose shit.
