More of the Same?

This is what I hear when as I listen to Barack Obama talk about his economic recovery plan:

Debt is what drives our economy, and too much debt has caused a lot of problems.  So, to solve this crisis, we need to make sure that you start taking on even more debt.

Yup, more debt is what he wants…more debt for you and me…to buy more stuff that we just don’t need.  We don’t need more cars, or more houses, or more plasma tv’s.  We’ve got plenty of that stuff already!

Makes me think of a short video from a couple years ago, “The Story of Stuff”
