From the history of currency to modern policy debates, this eye-opening documentary overturns the conventional myth that the government budget works like a household wallet. Discover how money is actually created, what national debt truly represents, and how changing our economic lens could unlock funding for climate change, healthcare, infrastructure, and inequality . In 2008, when the Wall Street banks were about to go bankrupt and desperately looking for a US government bailout, the money for the bailout was made available immediately.
When it comes to a bailout for a reckless Wall Street bank, the US government money is ALWAYS available.
Nobody asks, “where is the money going to come from???” when it comes to bailing out Wall Street banks.
But when it comes to the government spending money for affordable housing, education, public parks, environmental protection, there is NEVER money to spend.
