Make Sense of the Mess?

Some of you may have heard that there's an economic crisis going on. I'm slowly but surely getting my head around what happened. It's complicated and wonky and full of jargon, phrases, and acronyms I know nothing about.

Well, this little video (also embedded below) has been floating around for about a month and is a pretty nice visualization of the mess we're in. It explains some of the jargon and lays it all in simple-to-understand terms. It's more than eleven minutes long, but it really packs in a lot of information.

And it's sort of like a cartoon!
