Bill Moyers Journal. Government Debt / American Unreason
Description
What are the implications of the United States' $9 trillion federal debt for future generations of Americans? In this program, Bill Moyers gets a reality check from PublicAgenda.org's Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson, coauthors of Where Does the Money Go? Your Guided Tour to the Federal Budget Crisis. In addition, Susan Jacoby, author of The Age of American Unreason, talks about the crisis of ignorance in the U.S. and how a "flight from reason" is playing out in American politics and society. The program concludes with photojournalist Lori Grinker, who takes viewers to Amman, Jordan, for a devastating look at the fate of displaced Iraqis.
