The Path to Prosperity: America's two futures, visualized

This 3-minute video is a visualization of the House Republicans' budget, "The Path to Prosperity," presented by Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee.



Terrific video, this line is great -- politics is the art of forming coalitions, after all, and people have a natural tendency to dislike those telling them lies and like those telling them truths.

I do have one complaint -- The relationship between reduced government spending and increased economic activity isn't brought out enough. The public's number two concern is debt and the future, but their number one concern is the economy in the present.

And then there is this -- March Madness: U.S. Gov't Spent More Than Eight Times Its Monthly Revenue
