I.O.U.S.A. (again)

Back in early January, I noted that CNN was airing the documentary I.O.U.S.A. over the weekend. But then I, probably like many of you, got busy and never actually watched it.

For those of you who want to watch this but don't necessarily feel like you can sink 90 minutes (or however long it is) into it, you'll be glad to learn there's a short version created for people like us. In fact, I watched it this morning on YouTube. Powerful, disturbing stuff.

Okay, for some of you, 30 minutes is still too long. I'll do the heavy lifting for you. Watch the first 15 minutes, then jump ahead to minutes 20-22 and watch the financial warfare bit. That'll give you a really good feel for the key material.

If this fires you up enough to actually want to do something about it, a good first step might be to check out the National Tea Party Day activities in your area next week. Obviously we need to vote and be involved that way, but these rallies are a good way to show our elected officials that the people are getting restless. Sadly, getting that message across loud and clear is probably the only thing that will push them to act before the bottom completely falls out.
