IOUSA Solutions: Part 1 of 5

The award-winning documentary I.O.U.S.A. opened up America's eyes to the consequences of our nation's debt and the need for our government to show more fiscal responsibility. Now that more Americans and elected officials are aware of our fiscal challenges, the producers of I.O.U.S.A. created I.O.U.S.A.: Solutions, a follow-up special focusing on solutions to the fiscal crisis.

Were Fucked.

Roosevelt's 'new deal' started our entitlement/giveaway debacle; LBJ's 'great society' threw it into high gear then he raided Social Security to pay for his expanded entitlements, now it's broke. Nothing Reagan or Bush did had a fraction of the impact of those actions. We have to resolve out of control spending and the Roosevelt/LBJ time bombs TODAY. Democrats want MORE spending, MORE entitlements and MORE taxes to feed the beast - think that's going in the right direction?

omg they make it sound so complicated like the average person has to take a shit kicking.

healthcare solution: nationalize it like every other developed country.  social security solution: raise the tax rate from 100k to 350k or more. defense solution: stop the military empire and waste; You are not safer! taxes solution: capital gains, corporate taxes, more progressive income tax, robin hood tax, etc. not rocket science. america has 1 of the worst entitlements of all developed countries

Don't waste your time with this. The solutions are socialist ideas without any real financial analysis or data. If you want realistic and easy solutions, google

"Consider these facts" as quoted from the movie. Peter Peterson is a foundationist (my word). What is that you ask? Multimillionaire leftists who don't want to pay taxes any more than Warren Buffet, create foundations for parking tax free money. Helping themselves to remain the "hated" rich, all the while pretending to appear as though they are helping the lowly proletariat. Against a backdrop of federal leeches(civil "servants")not giving a damn about we who are paying the bills. The NWO

Yes America's economy is messed up and politicians aren't the greatest but it could always be worse, I mean, it could be like it is in Mexico, where politicians are even worse and for the most part they're a bunch of white collar criminals, and the economy down there is...well, economy in the US is messed up but fortunately it will never be like it is in countries like Mexico. So yes, things are bad but it could always be worse, so let's complain less, save more money and live within our means
