PBS documentary (DVD – 85 minutes)
Throughout history, the American government has found it nearly impossible to spend only what has been raised through taxes. Weaving together archival footage and economic data to illustrate America’s current economic situation, this film features candid interviews with Warren Buffet, Alan Greenspan, Paul Volcker and Paul O’Neill. Some say I.O.U.S.A. “may be to the U.S. economy what An Inconvenient Truth was to the environment.”
