Scheduled for release in the Fall of 2012, “The Bubble” asks the experts who predicted the current recession, “What happened and why?” Diving deep into the true causes of the financial crisis, renowned economists, investors and business leaders explain what America is facing if we don't learn from our past mistakes. The film poses the question: “Is the economy really improving or are we just blowing up another Bubble?”
This movie trailer shows just how little difference there is between the political parties when it comes to “buying your vote” with big-government, taxpayer-funded programs and policies that are doomed to failure. When history repeats itself it’s usually at a higher price.
It appears obvious that whether a U.S. Congressman has a D or an R after their name there is little separating the two parties these days when it comes to deficit–spending. This could explain why the latest Real Politics Congressional Job Disapproval rating is 82.5%, leaving Washington lawmakers with a dismal 12.0% job approval rating.
For further evidence that there is little difference between the parties look no further than the Republicans’ House payroll tax bill which will add $25.3 billion to the federal deficit over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. What’s the big deal in adding a quarter trillion to the country’s swelling National debt which today sits at $15.6 trillion and chang? Obviously, NOTHING, when it comes to the U.S. Congress.
According to THE HILL the Republican bill also extends the payroll tax and federal unemployment benefits for one year, adding $166.8 billion to the deficit for fiscal year 2012. Much of those costs would be offset over the 10-year period through other provisions in the bill.
