1. I Went To See This Documentary Tonight And Got To Report Back That We Are In Bad Shape Economically.

The message it is attempting to convey to the American people is "Wake up, America! We’re on the brink of a financial meltdown."

I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens.
This movie paints a picture of catastrophic future for this country. Afterwards there was a live 45-minute town-hall meeting broadcast from Omaha on the US economy with Warren Buffett, Bill Novelli of AARP, Bill Niskanen of the CATO Institute(must be a Repug), Peter G Peterson and David M Walker, the former Comptroller General, U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO)

This David M. Walker really impressed me and if I were Obama - I'd want him on my team. This guy has seen the problem first hand during his tenure at the GAO and from listening to him talk - he really doesn't like what goes on in D.C. He is now the President & CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation - Mr. Peterson was also on the panel.

Near the end of the movie - they really did a well deserved hatchet job on G.W. Bush.

This film is like An Inconvenient Truth. What IT did for global warming - IOUSA will do for the state of our economy. It pulled no punches. Scary like a horror film.

All Americans need to see this movie. It should be required.

I recommend it to all of DU.
