Ben Cohen and the Oreo economy clip
We all know in our hearts that the federal budget is a mess. We spend too much on the wrong things and not enough on the right ones. How hard would it be to fix all this? Pretty easy, if we just had the political will.

Click here to see Ben Cohen, the ice cream guy, explain it all as only he can. It's fun, fast, and will finally make all the wonky budget talk coming out of Washington make sense. Let's just say Oreo cookies are a key ingredient.

1. Very cool, but...
I am sure the Wal Mart Nation can understand this...as their shopping for price rollbacks on Oreos. Unfortunately, I think this DU link may have choked their server. First try was a server error message. When I finally watched the movie, I like it so much I tried to join TrueMajority, but again...got a message saying they couldn't establish a connection.

I'll try again later, though. It is a cool link. Thanks.

It is a 1120kb shockwave file which is too long and it could have been edited down buy half.I did not register because I want a political message from someone with experience like Howard Dean not a talk-radio brownshirt or ice cream executive.Congressional salaries as multiple of minimum wage is better than what is paid at Ben and Jerry's. http://www.e-tractions.com/truemajority/oreo/landing/content/truemajority.swf
