 Sadly our dollar is hanging on by a thread. It's backed by nothing and our gov't continues to print more of it out of thin air (ie.-bailouts). One day we'll print one too many dollars and it will become worthless (Germany - post WWII)

Nice concept, but visually it's a bit flat. Try getting creative with the lighting in a shot lke this.

Great political commentary but less well executed than others of this genre.
