Even The Onion Can't Get Fiscal Policy Jokes Straight

   (Commentary posted by Roger Erickson)

Never mind the figure, or reality ...
Comrades Behind Noodle Curtain Watch U.S. National Debt Crock Strike $18 Trillion
How bad are comedians, when they don't even know that the joke's on them? Or that they've put their foot in a crock?

This is worse than the endorsement-of-fraud movies that other comedians poured serious $ into making. Maybe sociopaths seizing power really wasn't a joke at all.

If YOU meet a comedian, please show them this plot too. Maybe someday reality might sink in.

How do you teach accounting to comedians? With a house of mirrors?

    well, I dunno. It seems pretty neutral PoV, and it still works if you know the actual joke is on the Chinese citizens.
    As an outsider though, I can't really judge whether this is really how the Chinese media spins things to have their workers duped.
