I.O.U.S.A.: Synopsis
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. Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions.
Throughout history, the American government has found it nearly impossible to spend only what has been raised through taxes. Wielding candid interviews with both average American taxpayers and government officials, Sundance veteran Patrick Creadon (Wordplay) helps demystify the nation's financial practices and policies. The film follows former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker as he crisscrosses the country explaining America's unsustainable fiscal policies to its citizens.

anyway: back to the point of these comments - this movie looks like a good investigative doc*mentary into the area where many secrets are well kept - hope that it does have NEW information and isn't as patronising as Spurlock's "Bin Laden" movie

@demuxer - "America is...a CONTINENT" - i'm afraid that too is inccorrect, while there are multiple continents (South America, North America, etc.) that are referred to as "the Americas", there is no continent known as America but a relevant point that you raise none the less - STOP REFERRING TO THE USA AS "AMERICA"!

too much offensive
as I read, you talk as "the American government ", while the correct is UNITED STATIAN GOVERNMENT, cause America isnt a country, its a CONTINENT and you can be the main country but not the owner of the continent.
too much arrogance!!
