I have read Empire of Debt and recommended it to several people-all of whom were scared to death. But the film fails to adequately address the depreciation of our currency over the last 45+ years as a result of profligate government spending. The film also fails to adequately place the blame for our fiscal problems on gutless politicians and a politicized federal reserve. Last but not least, the film incorrectly blames supply side economics and tax cuts (which are largely responsible for all the good things that have happened in the past and those Buffet imagines happening in the future to save us) which allow men to keep what they earn for fiscal and monetary irresponsibility.
