Meh
It kind of understand it now. But still, the film has lots of interesting twists. And the guy who rated the film with a three is right, he didn't make it, but duplicating it first is just as achieving as understanding it. It is kind of awkward to see this re-animated, but it is the same principle and the same intrusion into life as the actual documentary.
Natural
I give this one a 10 because the world is not always what we think it is.
Opposing Viewpoint
Well first off the top reviewer should maybe learn a little more about history and who is unemployed at this point. The people who are unemployed are the people who do not have a college education therefore the government putting money into R&D departments will not help them at all, and I do believe that we are supposed to have a free market so I am not really sure where the government would put these investments. Infrastructure will not be done for at least 10 years if we employ every single unemployed person so it is a pretty long term job. The movie is a pretty big conspiracy story and while their are many conspiracies out there this movie does not really help to change anything it just makes the ignorant non-political people distrust politics more. The movie only gives a one sided argument to all the statements it makes; such as dropping the gold standard, our dollar is now backed by the U.S. GDP which is much more reliable and fairer than gold since you can never really know how much gold the world has in it and what would happen to the dollar if say the soviet union or a terrorist organization just blew up all the places the U.S. holds its gold? all our dollars would become worthless and our economy would collapse much harder than it is now.
I gave 3 stars because you do do a good job with the flash but it is very unoriginal and everyone else seems to be rating the movie not your flash
This, along with...
...the movie that came out recently talking about the national debt, really put things into perspective. It's amazing how politicians can bicker of stupid little things when we have these huge houses of cards built up just waiting to topple down. The latest, our housing "crisis", was just an example. What kills me is they pass on economic stimulus package which has tons of money for new roads, education, etc. But those will only create more educated unemployed people, or employ people for the short term until infrastructure projects are done ... and then what? They get laid off again. A real stimulus package would have a) addressed the housing issue in regards to the taxpayer, b) put money into science, research & development (to create new things other countries don't have) and c) put money into manufacturing/production (so we can produce and sell the new technology we create that other countries will want). Likewise, they didn't put any stipulations in the bill stating they'd give tax breaks if companies hired local labor instead of out-sourcing, etc. Our politicians have shot-from-the-hip and chosen short-term relief for long-term suffering. The money they're coming up with...$750+ BILLION dollars ... doesn't just come out of thin air. It comes from loans from other countries. If other countries are in trouble just like we are ... who are we going to get the money from? They could end up printing more money, as was shown in this movie, which would devalue the dollar even more. And, all this money they're borrowing, has to get paid back to whomever they borrowed it from WITH INTEREST, as the movie showed. Our national debt was somewhere between $10-11 TRILLION dollars before the TARP and this economic stimulus bill. With TARP + the stimulus bill, the government has basically bumped up the national debt another $1 TRILLION dollars. IE: in other words, the U.S. government just increased the national debt by ~9-10% in just SIX MONTHS. Who gets to pay all of that back? The future generations of America. You guys get stuck holding the huge bag of shit. With baby-boomers retiring, and ever-growing healthcare costs, Medicare & Social Security have to pay out even more. By ~2020, it's estimated that the Social Security reserves will be used up. That means more money will have to be taxed to cover that. What sucks for retirees is that the government has allowed companies to do away with retirement pensions, and instead focus on 401k investment programs. And, since very few people were educated in how to use them, the stock market tanking has wiped out a lot of peoples 401k retirement accounts. The government is screwing things up. And the more they try to fix things, the more they screw it up. That's not to say "tear it down and start anew". But, there needs to be changes. I don't think our current administration is going to be able to do what's needed. We're going to be on the verge of collapse before the idiots in office decide something "really must be done."
Great.
But you only show one side of the argument.
If there was no inflation, and the supply increased, then the value of goods would decrease and people would not be intrested in making that good. Inflation is good at a controlled rate, business grows, the money grows.
