IOUSA Solutions: Part 5 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.

The national debt is what the taxpayers owe to the private central bank that runs the country. Thats why it will continue to go up every year. Thats why they will never pay it off. So until I hear more people talking about reforming the Federal Reserve, then videos like this are a waste of time.

Wow, NO mention of CORPORATE taxes. Google the new study by Citizens for Tax Justice about Fortune 500 companies if you want to see some REAL tax opportunities.

"In a study comprising more than half of the Fortune 500 list of the largest U.S. corporations, a quarter of those examined paid little or nothing in federal income taxes during the 2008-2010 period ... In 2009 alone, 49 companies earned combined profits of $78.6 billion ... and collected tax rebates totaling $10.8 billion."

Since there is no way US national debt of over $15Trillion can be payed ever at all, there must be a possible scenario (may be more than one) how the whole situation is most likely going to develop. Most probably, those who run the show, the transatlantic financial oligarchs, have not yet decided which way to steer or may be they have already decided and everything is "under control"? One way to find it out is to track them down, put them under arrest, and then waterboard them till they confess.

So this segment, advocate of Taxes is the solution... sad. You also have someone make the statement "No serious person has looked at our projected growth and debt and not concluded that we are on a Unsustainable course"... He was a liar... Ron Paul was laughed at for predicting this back in 1996. Please show that footage in this film.

So the top comments point towards Govt giving handouts to what I consider... the Piece of Craps of our society... why do people today believe in not working hard?

@dtaijo174 The fact that you think this is partisan proves your own partisanship. Open your eyes, dude.

IOUSA should stick with just reporting the problem instead of giving us one-sided "solutions."
