Description
The United States now carries forty trillion dollars in debt, and the economist Richard Wolff points out what that actually costs you.

It goes to wealthy companies, wealthy individuals, and foreign governments who lent the money in the first place. Because here’s the part he says out loud that most people won’t: the government had a choice. It could have taxed the rich. Instead it borrowed from them — and now every taxpayer in the country is paying them rent on that decision.
