Moving Minutes - The Greecing of America, Simplified

This short film produced by Bankrupting America examines Greece's fiscal crisis and warns Americans that the United States economy is on the same track. The Greecing of America, Simplified reveals that America's government spending and national debt are not far from the levels that have sent Greece spiraling toward economic collapse. It makes the compelling argument that we must cut spending now to avert a crisis that may be just a few short years away.

Actually, most studies show that government spends money both frugally and well proportionally.

@sinafam No, just let them keep their wages when they're younger, and they'll have plenty to pay for their retirement. When you take half+ of their earnings in taxes, they're forced to be dependent on gov't hand outs in old age.

Gov't always spends money badly, so most of the retired population get almost no return from the taxes they've paid, and are in poverty. It's a disgrace.
