IOUSA Explains the National Debt

This clip is the best explanation of the national debt I have seen. It is a little long, about 30 minutes, but it is very informative and entertaining. Most Americans have no idea of the scale of our national spending problems.

This is from a movie called IOUSA. I hope you enjoy and learn from it.

I.O.U.S.A. – the 30-Minute Version from IOUSA the Movie on Vimeo.

    That is a great video. I had no idea the trajectory we are on. The question is…. how do we get politicians, who make short term decisions, to make the right long term decisions for the country when they have negative short term consequences. These free spending politicians are giving away our future for the short term gains in the polls, the future of the country be damned.

    Sorry for my soap box. Thank you for the video.
