The episode mirrors the global economic crisis in a satirical way. In order to restore the economy, the citizens of South Park, led by Randy Marsh, decide not to buy unnecessary things and boycott the use of electricity themselves. On the other hand, Kyle forms a countermovement and ultimately pays the debts of all citizens with an American Express card.

The story is also very similar to the story of Jesus . In addition to many other events and sayings, there is also a " Last Supper " , for example , in which Kyle announces that he has the feeling that he will soon be betrayed what Cartman is planning.

Meanwhile, Stan tries to exchange his father's margaritaville , an automatic margarita mixer. He works his way through obscure economic structures and financing plans in which the device is integrated. In the end, Treasury officials told him that his device was worth billions of dollars. A little later, however, it turns out that they have established this with the help of a “diagram”, a small arena in which there are many different fields with instructions (rescue plan, bankruptcy, “try again”, etc.). This is done by severing the head of a chicken, causing it to run around the arena and after a short time land on a field. This alludes to the very random decisions made by the Ministry of Finance during the economic crisis.
