The debt crisis explained very well. As a poker game

And the rest of us are going, "Hey, what the fuck are you doing?"
The dealer assures us, "Don't worry, this is healthy and normal."
Again and again the dealer reaches into the box and pretty soon the 100 chips we built up through hard work are nothing compared to the gargantuan stacks being shoved around by the other players.
"This is fucking bullshit!" we call. "You're giving all the new chips to those two guys!"
"Yes, but the important part is that they are being distributed into the game," the dealer assures us. "Just keep playing hands and those chips will trickle into your piles too."
"No, they won't, because those guys are just using them to bully the rest of us around! I can't even afford to see most flops anymore."
"Hmmm," the dealer thinks. "Wait, I know how to fix this." He reaches into the box and hands out two more stacks of chips to his friends, the largest yet.
That's when we get up from the table as the dealer calls, "Hey, where are you guys going?"
"To make our own game, a fair one."
