absolutely great movie! every american should see it!
The film does a fantastic job of putting our nation’s pending fiscal crisis in grasp of non-financial minded americans. Maybe someone can address how the recent economic crisis will affect this though. My initial thoughts are that the personal savings rate should come back significantly toward the historical mean. The era of cheap credit is over, so consumerism may have already seen its best days. As far as the trade gap is concerned, it is my understanding that a large portion of this is attributable to importation of foreign oil. Now that oil has come down from its highs, and with a renewed focus on renewable energy, this should also abate in the future. Anyone else have thoughts?
