Set against the backdrop of today's headline - 67% of Americans don't approve of Obama's economic policies, the film takes a provocative look at our deeply depressed economy using the words and actions of Presidents Reagan and Obama and shows the marked contrast between Reaganomics and Obamanomics. The film contrasts two views of the role that the federal government should play in our daily lives using the words and actions of Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama. Two versions of the American dream now stand in sharp contrast. One views the money you earned as yours and best allocated by you; the other believes that the elite in Washington know how to best allocate your wealth. One champions the traditional American dream, which has played out millions of times through generations of Americans, of improving one's lot in life and even daring to dream and build big. The other holds that there is no end to the "good" the government can do by taking and spending other peoples' money in an ever-burgeoning list of programs. The documentary film I Want Your Money exposes the high cost in lost freedom and in lost opportunity to support a Leviathan-like bureaucratic state.
I love the part in the video where Reagan actually acts as if he ISN'T spending like a 'drunken sailor'!
All presidents combined up till Reagan, accumulated $1 trillion debt. The 12 years of Reagan/Bush left the country with $3trillion in debt.
Reagan wasn't much of a 'fiscal conservative' but he was great at BS!

Carter & Clinton... Fiscal Conservatives... The Republicans?? Borrowing & Spending like drunkin Sailors!

The recession we are in, or nearly avoided, will be remembered as the Bush Recession... (just as the Iraq war will be GWB's legacy.
How Obama manages to restore the economy (or fails to), along with Health Care Reform, will likely be Obama's legacy.

"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Interesting how Expenses dropped as revenue rose under Clinton.
and
How Clinton left Bush with a surplus but every year of Bush was a deficit.
Obama's numbers will be terrible until(or if) he manages to end the Bush Economic Meltdown. So far, the slide down has been halted but the advance back up to a stable economy has been barely upward.

We still haven't defined VALUE.....anyone here actually use cash........? we could be trading mismatched BUTTONS for all we know....the next generation HAS NO IDEA ABOUT CASH AND THE DISAPPEARANCE OF IT OR OTHERWISE.....ATM anyone? how about that SEND button or PAY button on your computer or cell phone.......this conversation is OLD......we have no money....get it.......
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
