I.O.U.S.A. The Movie:
Wake up, America! I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. The movie highlights America's challenge to either mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions.
A Citizen's Guide:
"America has become addicted to debt. Every American is now burdened, most of them unknowingly, with $184,000 in federal liabilities and unfunded government promises. Absent meaningful entitlement reforms and spending constraints, future tax burdens will have to more than double for the country to get by."
