Taleb tries to inform a group of economically ignorant legislators. Congress is completely clueless in regards to simple concepts such as "risk". Taleb mentions that our society is "over-financialized" because debt to GDP has grown to unsustainable levels and that our children and grandchildren will be punished for the foolish risks that government has taken with deficit spending, drastically increasing public debt, and central planning. Unfortunately Congress has not listened and continues to spend, as they are naive enough to believe that throwing money at our problems will solve everything.
