CNN To Air I.O.U.S.A. This Weekend

This weekend, CNN will debut the movie I.O.U.S.A. Accompanying clips of the film will be a panel of experts discussing the movie in greater detail as well as its relevance to the current economic crisis. The event will be moderated by Ali Velshi and Christine Romans, hosts of "Your $$$$$." The panel guests will include Concord Coalition President Peter Peterson, former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker, former Office of Management and Budget Director Alice Rivlin, and former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley.

The program will be shown twice over the weekend: Saturday, January 10, 2009 at 2:00 PM EST and Sunday, January 11, 2009 at 3:00 PM EST.


I.O.U.S.A. was released in theaters across the country in August and tells the real story of our national debt and why we need to reverse the flow of red ink before our nation faces a fiscal disaster. Highlights of the film include scenes of The Concord Coalition's Fiscal Wake-Up Tour, which has taken its message of fiscal responsibility across the country non-stop over the past two years.

1. "Reagan taught us that deficits don't matter" - Dick(head) Cheney
Oh. So now all of a sudden the Republicans are getting religion about budgets, deficits and spending now that they've wrecked the economy and spent everyones last dollar on wars and Wall Street Bailouts.....

Fuck them.

Spend like there's no tommorrow on what really needs to be money spent on. America.

After all, according to Dick Cheney, said during the VP debate in 2004, "Reagan taught us deficits don't matter".....

2. I love it when news orgs like CNN try to get all humanitarian.
It always comes across as fake. Anderson Cooper is the king of "we care" pseudo-journalism. Like they don't all get off on death and turmoil, it's their bread and butter.
