Great Issues

Aside from current events, this week we set our sights on the national debt.  After discussing a few slides related to the state of the economy, we will begin viewing a PBS Frontline documentary entitled "Ten Trillion and Counting" which provides an overview of the origins of the debt as well as the many challenges that lie ahead.  Be prepared as the week goes on to both discuss this topic and engage in further research to suggest proposals for what should be done about this substantial problem.

View the documentary in the window below or click the link above to open a separate window.
