This is a really cool way to actually educate people about taxes and government spending.

It's crazy that our interest payments are so high. I remember when Clinton actually balanced the budget (no deficit), I was a teenager and couldn't care less. But I only a few years ago started to understand how much that sounds like Sci-Fi in this day and age.

Haha I was just slightly older than you (Sophomore in college maybe?) and thought, "There, that's fixed."
