3D Fiscal House of Horrors Equally Scary in 2D!
by Reason TVJust mere days ago, Reason.tv broke the fourth wall, the fifth dimension, and the seventh sense by releasing, in conjunction with Reason magazine, the 3D series Fiscal House of Horrors!
The series, including the episodes “I Spend on Your Grave!”, “Night of the Living Debt”, and “Attack of the Killer Compensation!,” illustrate how out-of-control government spending is shredding the economy like Freddy Krueger on steroids.
Reason is happy to release Fiscal House of Horrors in 2D for viewers too scared to confront the federal spending horror in heart-stopping 3D (debt, deficit, and despair)!
Watch and learn. And, as former senator and recidivist presidential candidate Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) says in his warning, don’t be afraid to scream – it just might save your life. And your country’s future!
Approximately 6 minutes.
To get our special 3D issue of Reason (with complimentary 3D glasses) and to view these videos in terrifying 3D, go here.
Written and produced by Austin Bragg, Meredith Bragg, and Nick Gillespie.

The 3D's
Dysfunctional Delusional Democrats
Ohh that’s scary, the blood of red ink….
Clearly a sea change is necessary…
We need a complete turnaround, a government rollback in spending, but until we remove the Democratic Socialist Party from power and hunt down some more RINOS, the prospect hasn’t a ghost of a chance…
We can scream all we want, but it won’t save this country’s future. It’s going to take some VERY tough decisions, like getting rid of Social Security, Medicare, and all the other government programs that are sucking the life-blood out of its people.
Obama & his socialist Administration, may have had a great time being "King for a day" but he has connected America to Washington D.C. forever.
The U.S. Government will now be scrutinized minute to minute by U.S.! via The Internet, talk radio, Fox News and hopefully the full Conservative Republican Breitbart TV, without being subject to Liberals like Juan, Geraldo, Jenna Lee, Greta, Julie Banderos, and Shepard.
Obama and the socialist Dems and their Communist friends have had their day. We will preserve America, and The Constitution, in whichever way we need to!
just make somebody write down all those zeros in a trillion, and that will scare most people, when you tell them we are more than 13 trillion in the hole, unfunded part of social security is over 100 trillion, they may run out of ink trying to print all those zeros.
Dysfunctional Dystopian Dullards, now that's the 3 Ds of the loony left!
Yes Obama has made it his goal to Fundamentally Transform America into socialism by spending U.S. into oblibion, but we woke up to his game!
So now we have to go forward and Transform everything back as quickly as possible. The screeming voices of We The People are being heard.
And don't let weasels like Andrew Cuomo Stop US with statements like the following: – 'There is no room in New York for Tea Parties' REALLY?
We shall see Mr. Cuomo and friends Mayor Bloomberg, Rangle, Sharpton, Jackson, Rupert Murdoch. How's the Mosque coming? Don't mess with angry Americans with hot Tea!
Spot on!!!!!!!
Excellent video. And all the blame goes to our spendthrift congressional members. That's why they need to go out the door this Nov and again in 2012 and 2014. Our government has lost all common sense. Assuming they had ever had any sense at all before and after their election.
I really miss the good old days when people showed their disdain and anger by liberally coating corrupt, inefficient politicos in tar and feathers, and riding them out of town on a many splintered rail.
Dudley and Hoffman, Missy? Give me some hope as I'm on the east side. Please……
I remember growing up in the 70's, and 80's where a government worker would be forced to go out and work in the private sector in order to look for better pay….. what happened since then?
Clearly, Keynesian economics miserably failed for FDR in the 30s, and is doing likewise for BHO II in 2010.
However, is an excellent method to loot the treasury…just ask the dirty RATS in power!

Statism!
How about we first cut public service wages to reflect those in the private sector. Next we do away with the DOE, USAID, and all grants, gifts, and aid to unfriendly, foreign countries and groups. Follow that closely with the withdrawal from the useless nations. Finally cut the corp tax from 35% to a more realistic 15%. That might just entice business to return to our shores. Privatize freddie mac and fannie mae and allow our country to use its assets rather than relying on foreign producers. Now that would be a great start. Finally, get real oversight on social security and medicare and punish the abusers and fraud rampant through both systems.
But if we have another stimulus and spend a bunch of chinese money that we'll never pay back, this will all get better, right?
Did ya'll see Jamesb's new piece on Big J?
.
Unfortunately there have only been a few polls in the senate race and as you know the bulk of the Oregon population is in the valley, the latest on Huffman is -16. The latest on Dudley is +3.4 a statistical tie but that could swing wildly as election day approaches. If the turnout for Dudley is historically larger than normal Huffman could pull off the most stunning upset of the year…
We must have the resources to hold Democrats accountable.
Imagine if we allowed the fiscal disasters happening at the federal level to play out in states across the country.
Imagine Democrat leaders helping the President take over every facet of your state government.
Imagine 6 more years of President Barack Obama.
We will not only send a message when we “Remember November” but deliver that message!
Liberal special interests are investing millions in the governors’ races because they know GOP gubernatorial victories in crucial swing states will spell T-R-O-U-B-L-E for Obama in 2012.
THE PARTY OF FOOD STAMPS VS. THE PARTY OF PAYCHECKS http://www.newt.org/video/party-food-stamps-vs-pa...
Obama's job killing policies have made the Democrats the Party of Food Stamps and that the Republicans have the chance to become the Party of Paychecks this November.

Thanks onecompone. It was great!
You had me up until the last sentence. IMHO, the gov’t should have NOTHING to do with people’s retirement OR healthcare. We, as individuals, need to be responsible for both.
The nanny state needs to end. Now.
Hmmmm, where have we heard this before? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/arti...
I salute you Mr. Gravel , Read his bio, cool guy, recidivist? hardly,Principled? seems to be ,9-11 truther? ask him , he will debate you. Afraid of a little statesmanship?
Obamunist and his spendthrift minions are summed up in 'Killer Clowns from Outer Space'! -May give some insight into Obamacare as well!
Can we start with wiping Obamacare from the slate?
Huffman should be whoopen Wyden's sorry back side. This is a dude that is a total fiscal conservative,he believes in a flat tax and is a Constitutional scholar. Since Oregon has no media except for the occasional talk radio,we are screwed by the fuzz heads that live in PDX and Animal House, Eugene. Wyden has been in the swamp of D.C for 30 years. His wife and kids live in New York city. Wow , I guess he represents us. No he is too busy with his bromance with Chuckie Shumer. Jim Huffman just needs the push from every decent voter in Oregon and dollars from outside Oregon.
Loved that movie!
Economicon! That is quality stuff!
I don't know which is scarier: Either Obamacare doctors or Obama IRS agents packing big curly drink straws……
Hey I share you predicament . Huffman is a stellar candidate.The man has been a working fool, his style is very approachable. I have seen him twice now and each time I am more impressed. This dude is a conservative 'porn', yes talk flat tax, oooh baby, yes open up Oregon's natural resources,ahhh,yes, star.If the fools in PDX give us Wyden AGAIN or Dr, Do-Over as the WW calls him AGAIN. We are so screwed. I have heard that Schrader the traitor, De Fazio and maybe Wu are in trouble. Election night on the West coast is going to be a nail biter!
That would be a good start, although the odds of that happening anytime soon are slim to none IMHO.
"To Serve Man"
It would flow a little better without separate leadins, though the similes should definitely stay.
Nice production value though, and a proper reaction to the Dufus In Chief and his minions.
I agree. However, the reality is that we do have those programs, and the fraud and corruption is rampant.
But how do we rid government run programs of fraud and corruption? “Fraud and corruption” seem to be synonymous with “government” these days. Where there’s one, there’s the other… kinda like “peanut butter & jelly” or “Abbott & Costello” or “Obama & Marxism.”
None of those changes will take place without a violent (literally) change in gov't.
And republicans. Don't forget Republicans.
Congress historically passes a program, but seems to always forget to fund it so that there is proper oversight and stiff penalties for abuse or fraud. I once read where the govt said policing the programs costs more than it's worth.
Do a google: why congress will not police the fraud and corruption in social security.
The amount of information on corruption and fraud in govt programs is staggering.
“The amount of information on corruption and fraud in govt programs is staggering.”
And that brings us back to my original premise: We’ve got to get rid of SS, Medicare, and all the other government programs that are sucking the life-blood out of its people.
Off topic…
I took a peak at your avatar/profile and I just wanted to thank you, Sir, for serving our country.
If that’s what needs to happen, then so be it.
Mike Gravel is a man of no principle. An early form of the Northeast Liberal ruling class elite. Who believes in nothing but him self, a Columbia graduate carpet bagger with no friends who moved to Alaska to leach on to the early democratic machine, then alienate every single constituent in the state with his big gov't, ruling class notions. Hates the republic and most recently tried and failed to install "direct democracy" in violation of every founding principle of the republic. I do not think he has ever read any founding documents to this day.
One more to consider: Obamacare bureaucrats deciding your health care.
