End Credits from The Other Guys
Not normally something you would expect from the credits of a Will Ferrell movie but the visualisation that follows is a slick bit of work that shows how the corporate fat cats are getting that that much fatter at the expense of the people at the bottom of the economic food chain.
America’s Debt Problem
Another Vlogbrothers quick-fire diatribe in which John discusses the U.S. public debt, our dangerously high debt to GDP ratio, the S&P’s downgrade of America’s credit rating, and why our debt may not be as unmanageable as it seems.

Lots of governments have never cleared their debts so it’s kinda hard to say. But tougher times look likely.
