Libertarian's wet dream.
This movie is really good at scaring you. Some of the projections are absolutely bone-chilling. But it largely overstates the problem ? the deficit is currently at a manageable level of 3% of GDP. And we need to run a deficit in this economic downturn to ensure we don?t have skyrocketing rates of unemployment. The flim also ignores one of the best solutions to the ?problem? ? health care reform. If our health care system were as efficient as other industrialized nations, and if Medicare/Medicaid were able to take advantage of these lower costs, then our deficit problem would basically disappear. Check out the Center for Economic and Policy Research, they have a nice graphic that demonstrates this well: [BLOCKED WEBSITE]

I.O.U.S.A.
Fascinating Movie - An Insightful look ino the current world Financial Situation and the History behind it. Any one that is interested where we are today both politically and financially this is a must see.
The only dissapointment I personally had was the fact that a large part of our problem has to do with Out-Sourcing and the growing dependency to have machine, do our thinking for us, which includes, but is not limited to the fact that the vast majority of business, both lage and small that use recorded devives to answer phone and then expect you to carry on a conversation.
Both of the above has eliminated the need for jobs, there by increasing the Unemployment Problem.
This has also eliminated the need on the part of both industry and consumer to develop One on One personal relationships with those that we do business with

I.O.U.S.A - A must for Concerned Parents
David Walker is about the most brilliant man I have seen. He presents this looming disaster to those of us who are concerned enough about the future of the United States to take the time to understand the mess our irresponsible Federal Government has gotten us into. The Current Wall Street meltdown is only the beginning. I.O.U.S.A presents the picture of far greater disasters for which the clock has already been set if we don't MANDATE our elected officials to act now. This is a must see for anyone who is concerned about the nation we are leaving behind for our children and grandchildren!
