Community Cinema: I.O.U.S.A.

Wake up, America…We’re on the brink of a financial meltdown! Veteran filmmaker Patrick Creadon (WORDPLAY) boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its alarming consequences. As the Baby Boomer generation prepares to retire, will there be any Social Security benefits left to collect? Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, overextended entitlement programs and debts to foreign countries, the film contends that America must mend its ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions.
