Washington Could Learn a Lot from a Drug Addict

Washington's chronic overspending is just like a junkie's addiction to drugs. Unless the cycle of addiction is broken, our economic and unemployment situation will continue to suffer. Washington is out of time. To avoid hitting rock bottom, Washington must cut spending today. To spread this message, Washington Could Learn a Lot has created this video. Learn more at washingtoncouldlearnalot.com.

Update: Now, our economic situation has deteriorated even further. We are now approaching $15 trillion in debt and Congress has raised the debt ceiling 11 times in the past ten years.

Washington Could Learn a Lot is a project of Public Notice Research & Education Fund (PNREF). PNREF is an independent non-profit dedicated to educating the American people about economic policy and the principles of economic freedom.

Through our education and awareness projects, PNREF will explore the future consequences of public policies being enacted today.

To all the people that want to talk shit about this drug addict or any other drug addict you should think about when you were a kid, like you didn't experimented. Or maybe try and think what the fuck they had to go through growing up, what life they had to live before deciding that using drugs could be a way for them to forget the pain that they had to deal with. they didn't just wake up one day and decide that "oh, I think I want to get loaded today." for the people that talk shit, FUCK YOU!!!!

This site is such bullsh*t. All it is, is a conservative leaning website that's in favor of further tax cuts for the wealthy.

News flash: we've had the Bush era tax cuts for years now...and if these tax cuts truly did help industry leaders create new American jobs, it would have done so by now. So where are the jobs?

Everyone with half a god damn brain can see these companies are not using their money saved by tax cuts to create new jobs.

im sorry this is the worst commercial i have ever seen.. yea i get the analogy but really?? everytime it comes on i debate throwing a brick threw the screen.

Too bad few want to acknowledge that BEFORE any money can be spent it must be BORROWED.

[LegionnaireEtrangere]

What a stupid commercial! Government finance is nothing like drug addiction. Instead of just cutting spending on those whose depend on it, Senators and Congressmen could stop coddling multi-billion dollar banks. Last year, Bank of America recieved a nearly $1,000,000,000 tax return! While it sat on $17Bil in US profit overseas. It's cheaper for a company to move $ overseas and call it reinvestment than to pay it's corporate income tax. End corporate tax loopholes and pass a transaction tax!

@clarkcountysfinest HEY i am sorry if you had so much pain . I also actually always felt sorry fro drug addicts because i knew that they must have been hurt and want to forget the pain . But there are also many people who just do it for trying and get caught .

I hope you feel better. Please try not to use bad 4 letter words .

50s, When you control the creation and circulation of the medium of exchange you are 'the power'..the government. Our Constitutional government wrongfully farmed out is authority to monetize the people's production as debt-free wealth to them to the banking industry that monetizes our production as unpayable interest-bearing debts. We are not governed by our government but by the banking industry. Debt is the only 'tool' they need. We need to return that power to the people.
