Watch Part II - "Comparing Debt to GDP" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTNkysXQUsk

Today the US Debt topped 15 Trillion dollars. What is debt exactly? How does it destroy families and countries? Epipheo is beginning a series on the topic of debt to help everyone understand where we are at as a country. That's right ... perhaps we are the real Super Committee. Comment on what part of the debt problem you would like to see more videos about.

  • Why no mention of the fact that all the new money that is created from the Central Banks also comes with interest...for which there is no money to pay that interest to begin with. In other words, money comes with a certain amount of debt by default.

  • @PDzero good idea. do you know of any good articles explaining that? We are looking for good follow up video topics.

  • Superb as usual, sir!

  • @MSGPresident Thank you sir!
