With unemployment around 10% these days, it's easy to feel gloomy about the lack of jobs out there. And everybody's got their knickers in a bunch about government spending, so it's pretty easy to scare folks out there about how much the government is gong to tax your great-great-great grandchildren back to the Stone Ages, aka the 1980s. Ironically though, if you're skilled at coming up with pictures and cutesy-wutesy ways of explaining what the money would look like of it was physically stacked in a room, this would seem to be a golden age for you.
"Hi, I'd like to apply for the job of 'describing to Americans how far the deficit would stretch if each dollar was a grain of sand.'"
"Okay. What's the answer?"
"Saturn."
"We can only pay you $140k/year."
"I'll take it."
