...if the president gets credit for a great economy he also gets the blame when it crashes on his watch.

Great film.

    The current POTUS said recently during the market free fall that Wall Street is not the economy. No truer words.
    
    Perhaps there needs to be a film about Wal Mart closing 264 stores. That's where real people live. Mirren could play Mama Wal Mart and Clooney her kept man.

      Maybe my personal boycott of one of absolute worst corporate citizens in this country is finally having an effect. Then again, maybe those store closings are related to Walton family greed and those stores just didn't generate the level of profits those 1%'ers feel entitled to? Honestly, if you really think things are worse now than in 2008 you should try spending less time in the movie theater.

      ...got any evidence?
      It has never been that high in the past decade so it certainly isn't now.
