A comic exchange unfolds as an American in Paris proclaims American towers outdo the Eiffel Tower, while a Frenchman questions the claim. A later scene shows a curious customer and a crocodile handbag seller debating authenticity as a salesman explains a crocodile tale.
Government debt and federal spending spark warnings that taxes will rise to cover trillions in new borrowing. Scholars and commentators discuss the burden of a growing national debt and the prospect of taxes paying for past government credit and recovery efforts.
