And watched a couple parts more than once. I even took some notes.

For starters, isn't it obvious that if taxes were lower, people would have more money?

The family in Missouri - you know, where she went on about each person in the family having a shelf on the door of the fridge with their snacks for a week (which was pretty telling in itself). She commented that 'everyone wants to be free of worry' and making car payments ~ well, does she work? There was no mention of her working or staying home. Did they buy a new car instead of used? Could it be they are just caught up in 'keeping up with the Jones'?

On the topic of alternative energy and automakers - why should the gov't pay to retool the automakers? Let the UNIONS pay for that, they caused the problems with their demands for excessive wages and benefits.

Baracko talked about entrepreuners and investors pointing the way to better fuels, so why is 15 billion in government money needed? He promises 5 million jobs from this, which, if you do the math, at $30K is $150,000,000,000 (150 billion). Interesting. I say, let the investors, who have more than 15 billion, get busy.

He referred to the recent economic fallout as the result of 8 years of failed policy - well that's just a flat-out lie. It started much further back than that.

What happened to tax cuts for incomes below $250K? Did anyone catch that he said 'below $200K' in his movie?

Lastly I'd like to mention the older couple, Mr. & Mrs. 'Walmart stuff-seller'. Why did he retire at 62? If he'd worked another 3 years his Social Security would have been higher. Why didn't they plan for her to have health insurance, which they knew she wouldn't have after he retired? Did they even plan for retirement?? There were 2 cars in their driveway, do they really need both? As for her 12 medicines, half of them are probably causing more harm than good. They have taken out a loan on their house to pay expenses, well if you have assets you should use them. There is such a thing as a reverse mortgage, which can provide an income to older people.

One vignette I felt had a legitimate claim to pain was the man whose company used retirement funds to shore up their business, and then it closed.
