Lycos Cinema : Watch "I.O.U.S.A" Online!

""

Watch "I.O.U.S.A" online with your friends. I.O.U.S.A. boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. As the Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire, will there even be any Social Security benefits left to collect?

Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions.

Throughout history, the American government has found it nearly impossible to spend only what has been raised through taxes. 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 U.S. Comptroller General David Walker as he crisscrosses the country explaining America's unsustainable fiscal policies to its citizens.

With surgical precision, Creadon interweaves archival footage and economic data to paint a vivid and alarming profile of America's current economic situation. 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.

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.

Pointedly topical and consummately nonpartisan, I.O.U.S.A. drives home the message that the only time for America's financial future is now.

California gets ready from rising sea level

California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger says that his state could face terrible future if sea levels continue to rise. Well, Florida faces an even worse future as most of it is less than 10 feet above sea level. If Greenland were to melt, over 90% of Florida would be under water. That said California is getting ready for climate change. With global warming we can expect higher sea levels. This may also alter oceanic currents in ways we cannot imagine.

Solar Powered Prius

The latest in green vehicles is a solar powered Toyota Prius. This is great news and I hope that more people start to be serious about global warming. If we do nothing the polar ice cap will melt and our would will see coastal erosion due to flooding - we need solar cars.

GM outta gas!

GM, iconic maker of the Hummer, that supersize SUV, is now in trouble. Sales of the Hummer are down 50% this year. Instead of making energy efficient cars, GM made big SUV trucks. The GM auto meltdown is getting worse. The road ahead is rocky at best.

Green Cars

Well, green cars are the future, but how do we get there? Perhaps we will use solar photovoltaic power and electric cars, or use wind mills and hybrids. There are many paths to a healthy green future for our world.
