    I like the guy on the white board a lot better. This video to save or to spend is horrible. The idea that the federal government can spend money more wisely than consumers is ludicrous. Never in the history of the world has a central planned economy worked. Why does the federal government think they can defy history?

    Anyone interested in how saving and economies really work read Henry Hazlitt's "Economics in One Lesson." You'll be a lot better off; it explained why my guts feels all these bailouts are wrong.

    and the funny thing is you really don't have a choice if you want to save or spend. the government will inflate and spend for you. even bernanke admitted inflation is a tax

    the problem with the US economy is that we are 2/3 consumption and are nearing the end. the problem i have with the government is that they will not get out of the way and let these imbalances be resolved. the current administration is trying to reflate the bubble and put us back on an unsustainable path (i.e. to consume more than we produce; this is a fairy tale). please understand the bursting of the bubble is the solution. the REAL PROBLEM is that the bubble was created in the first place.
