I.O.U.S.A. - the 30 minute version
I have seen the movie I.O.U.S.A twice now, and have come away completely blown away each time. This is a shortened version of the movie which you can watch for FREE! The play time is ~30 mintues, but I promise that it will be time well spent!

It's refreshing to see a documentary with actual facts compiled by actual professionals....not just some fat guy from Hollywood with his own agenda :)

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: http://www.cepr.net/calculators/iousadeficit/calc_iousa_deficit.html
