Film I.O.U.S.A.

[Broadlighter]

I hope it's not too late, but the Distributor of this film is Pete Peterson, who was head of the CFR for 22 years.

There's more behind this mov(i)e. Watch the movie if you must, but I'm getting information that this is a ploy to divert people away from the liberty movement.

DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!

By making a movie that shows how the nanny state, interventionism and corporate fascism has driven us into overwhelming debt, screwing us and following generations, and making economic collapse all but inevitable?

Must be some kinda reverse psychology.

I agree with the first responder. I would think a movie like this would only make those realize who see it that our quickly evaporating economy needs more expertise than either McCain or Obama can provide (even if they wanted to) and give them pause to think that maybe this year, it is time to vote for somebody more capable --- like Congressman Paul.

The video was also developed by that former comptroller general, Walker I think his name is.

While he isn't a RPR for sure, he knows the deficit is a problem. Many people do. It doesn't really advocate a solution, but it does bring light to the problem. Don't crucify the message just because somebody else brought it!

Interestingly, the movie got bumped by Glenn Beck on his show.

I watched the trailor and heard Ron Paul's voice on it. I think you are off track here.

That movie contains some B.S. economic theories from what I've heard. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=150655

Mark and I are going to see it. I'll report back. I'm also going to find out what RP thinks of it - just put the word in to one of his people.

From the movie site's About section.

Throughout history, the American government has found it nearly impossible to spend only what has been raised through taxes. (Thus they created the federal reserve system - where you can tax the people via inflation, and they don't know about it) 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. (Fiscal)

With surgical precision, Creadon interweaves archival footage and economic data to paint a vivid and alarming profile of America's current economic situation. (Keynesian economics is bunk. Government spending cannot be used to stimulate the economy. See Japan.) - Will it tell us how we got there? Federal Reserve Act 1914?

The ultimate power of I.O.U.S.A. is that the film moves beyond doomsday rhetoric to proffer potential financial scenarios and propose solutions about how we can recreate a fiscally sound nation for future generations. (Awesome! Can't wait for the solutions!!!! I wonderz what they will be?!)

Creadon uses candid interviews and his featured subjects include Warren Buffett, Alan Greenspan, Paul O'Neill, Robert Rubin, and Paul Volcker, along with the Peter G. Peterson Foundation's own David Walker and Bob Bixby of the Concord Coalition, a Foundation grantee.

Hahaha....

Alan Greenspan served as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve of the United State from 1987 to 2006.

Robert Rubin served as the 70th United States Secretary of the Treasury during both the first and second Clinton Administrations.

Paul O'Neill served as the 72nd United States Secretary of the Treasury for part of President George W. Bush's first Administration.

Paul Volker served as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan (from August 1979 to August 1987). He is today an economic advisor to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama.

You expect truth from these blokes? GTFO.

Yeesh. Wonderful.

Well, in any case, the first step to solving this problem is waking people up to the fact that our economic policies must change. This movie can really help.

Step 2 is where we must part ways with these guys, by offering a more rational and economically-sound solution than the FairTax or whatever it is they have to offer.

Indeed, indeed. I just hope they're not as successful in instilling their proposed solutions, as we are. Let teh battle begin.

I'm hopeful but cautious about the film and the follow-up discussion.

I fear the "flat tax" solution will be "offered" along with false promises, a dash of BS and a bag of worthless gold coloured NAU "Amero" coins.

Or, watch for the ultimate con job, new electronic "credits" that inflate automatically - "See, you get a billion of 'em when you are first born, and..."

As dissenters exit the theaters, they are immediately herded onto waiting trains destine for FEMA detention camps.
