This film was very eye opening! It shed a bright light on the current Federal deficit and the extreme situation America is in. It spoke how the debt is increasing at an alarming rate. It stated valid reasons how America is responsible for the debt and how we as Americans can help to reduce it. The movie did an excellent job in painting the real picture and hopefully each individual who views it will take it seriously and begin to help remedy this intense situation we are ALL IN!
My response to the above film is varied. First off I agree with the fact the America is indeed in a horrible financial mess and we as Americans are responsible for a huge part of it, however I feel that the films impact is minimal due to the fact that it is contingent upon the amount of viewers who take the time to watch it. And finally while I appreciate the message of the film I found it irrelevant to what we are studying in class.

I agree with you that this film's impact is minimal. It isn't a mainstream video and we probably would have never watched it if it hadn't been for a class. You could just tell from the people interviewed in the video that the people desperately need to be educated on this matter. It's such a shame that the media chooses to focus on other things, rather than this huge fiscal crisis that puts our nation's future at risk. I wasn't in class last week, but I too am uncertain as to how this fits into our curriculum.
