"Overall household indebtedness is up from $7 trillion to almost $10 trillion since 2000. On this sum, we estimate, the American consumer has an annual interest bill of more than $500 billion; a sum, by the way, that vastly exceeds his current income growth." —Kurt Richebacher

This is one of those all time great classics. Pure genius writing. Nailed. Dead on. Clean, clear, crisp satire. Voltaire would be proud.
How can anyone that views this have anything but a crystal clear view of what’s going on.
And, such a proof “our” Congress and Prez are bought and paid for.
Perhaps it’s time for an American version of the Roman movie Gladiator.

[...] Jon Stewart’s “JONCO” explains financial fraud for you. I don’t like Stewart’s title “In Dodd We Trust.” I wouldn’t trust Chris Dodd with anything. Stewart picks up steam halfway through, when he explains how to incorporate “JONCO,” get a 0% loan from the government on a $900 junk car for collateral, and pay himself a million dollars in salary. If Jon Stewart knows how to game the system and rip off poor taxpayers, you know it’s just that easy.
