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.
Note from Scott: This video explains just how
much trouble we’re in as a nation--a nation of debt. It covers the history of
our national debt, which we’ve had since the start of the country--but there was
one time it was $0--amazing. I highly recommend you watch this because our future
really will depend on how the nation deals with today’s financial crisis.
