    I.O.U.S.A. You Owe It To Yourself

    by Isaiah41179

    This movie is not biased tward the left or right of the political spectrum, it simply is the truth about the level of debt this nation is in, and the economic crisis we as a people face. While most Americans prefer not to concentrate on facts and figures, this movie makes a compelling arguement for not only becoming politically active and demanding more fiscal responsibility of your elected leaders, but for every American to take some fiscal responsibility of thier own. Stop treating your homes like piggy banks and treat them like homes, spend money that you have, not credit, and save some cash in the bank. Its basic Economics 101, "There is no such thing as a freelunch."

    The worst part about this movie is that I saw it on Friday, August 29th, in a huge theater with only about twenty people in total, while the prior night 80,000 people jam packed a football stadium to here Barack Obama give a Speech with 29 lines of promises and 2 lines about how he will pay for those promises.

    Really compelling -- everyone needs to see this movie!

    Did you know that the government has over-spent $184,000 for every man, woman, and child in the country? That your family owes over $90,000 in Federal debt (in addition to whatever else you may owe)? That there are already instances of "financial warfare" in which countries have used debt leverage to achieve military aims?

    This movie is a wake-up call and a call to action that EVERYONE needs to see.

    The government is spending future generations money and putting our country in a position that has -- and will continue to -- put our nation's security in jeopardy.

    Please see this movie and spread the word!

    A film every American needs to see.
    Wake up AMERICA. This is what the film does.

    It explains the problems we as a country have with debt and deficit in terms anyone can understand.
    And it explains what our government is doing and NOT doing to remedy it.
    If you are in the dark about what exactly IS our problem as a nation and what we are facing AND what we need to do,you need to see this film.

    Take a friend and GO SEE IT!!
