I think IOUSA should be mandatory viewing for everysingle person in the united states above the age of 18. You can view a 30 minute version of it free on their website. But be prepared to be shocked!!!

"The one barely possible benefit from this predictably futile partisan bloodbath is the opportunity it could offer to leverage support for a long-standing bipartisan effort to force Congress to confront the hard steps needed to put the nation on a safer fiscal course. "

UH? What color is the sky in your world?
The two sides have opposing goals. The side in power currently thinks it's their money and they're trying to figure out who should get what services. All of which the government is paying for.

Neilther side realizes that the government can't give a single dollar without first taking it from someone that earned it.

Obama fixed that - he just prints more money. While he takes over the private sector one peice at a time. Pretty soon everything will belong to the government and that is NOT BY ACCIDENT.

Redistribution of wealth is his job!

Just ask him:

The only wealth distribution that's been done in any large amount is to the people that got us into this mess, the banks. Different boss, same agenda.

while watching the movie (althought not a teacher) that was one of the first things i thought of... that this needs to be added to school curricula around the country. financial literacy programs in general need to be addressed considering our current rate of savings in this country. here are a couple good links i found after a quick search - http://iousa.wikispaces.com/Resources and
