I remember writing a post about the foolishness of trying to keep up with the Joneses, but this video does it better. If you need to explain to your five-year-old what is wrong with our economy, this video should do the trick. Thanks Generous News!

John January 23, 2009 at 9:22 am: Excellent video – but where is Cartman?

Do you think they’ll have to put a new ending on it in a few years – where Obama pulls up with a big checkbook to pay the bank guy?
bob January 23, 2009 at 10:00 am: LOL, I don’t know, it will be funny to see!
Josanne January 27, 2009 at 5:13 am: That was really good–and WAY too true! Thanks!
