Charts & Graphs & Flowcharts, Oh My!

My husband and I disagree somewhat on our politics. I believe we’ve entered a stage of “Argentinian Democracy” where the top 1% wealth owners have betrayed the trust of the people by overstepping the boundaries in a greed orgy that lead to big take-home pay for the executives of multinational companies and investors in hedge funds. He believes the people who took out all those mortgages and couldn’t pay them are the greed problem and the reason our economy is in the state it’s in. The sad fact is that we’re both right. What a mess! It’s so complicated that most people can’t grasp the complexity of what went wrong. To the rescue come graphic artists! Check out FlowingData.com for a list of 27 graphics to help us all understand what went down and to visualize how much it costs.

Don’t look if you don’t want to know. The graphics are awesome, but they paint a pretty ugly picture.
