Praise for the theatrical version of I.O.U.S.A.: "I.O.U.S.A. is a clear, cogent and compelling primer on contemporary American economics and the not-so-small matter of how we ended up at the edge of a precipice." -- Toronto Star "The buck stops here in this sobering but disarmingly irreverent look at the national debt." -- Hollywood Reporter I.O.U.S.A. 3.5 Stars! "...it accomplishes an amazing thing. It explains the national debt, the foreign trade deficit, the decrease in personal savings, how the prime interest rate works, and the weakness of our leaders." -- Roger Ebert "An alternately amusing and alarming primer on America's off-the-charts fiscal irresponsibility." -- Variety "Equal parts enlightening and alarming, "I.O.U.S.A." highlights our unwise preference for short-term reward over long-term planning." NY Times "For anyone seeking a clearer understanding of the financial state of the union -- and strong enough to take the sobering news -- [I.O.U.S.A.] is a good place to start." LA Times "Some even wonder if it might do for the economy what Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" did for the environment..."I.O.U.S.A" is a bold attempt to highlight a potentially huge problem." -- The Economist
