Suggested letter to your congressperson/senator:

Quote:
Subject: "I.O.U.S.A.:" Can you handle the truth?

Dear Decision Maker:

Did you know that the federal government is in a $ $53 trillion financial hole? A hole that's growing by $2 trillion to $3 trillion every year? That amounts to a burden of $175,000 on each and every American citizen.

These frightening facts are spelled out in detail in "I.O.U.S.A.," a new Sundance-selected documentary that also offers possible solutions. I would strongly urge you to visit www.IOUSATheMovie.com to learn more, and to visit www.PGPF.org to get the full details from the companion "State of the Union's Finances" report.

This film has been called the "Inconvenient Truth" for America's looming fiscal crisis, and with good reason. It directly addresses the four key deficits confronting America: budget, savings, balance of payments/trade, and perhaps most crucial of all, our leadership deficit.

My question to you is, will you help us overcome this leadership deficit? Will you learn the facts about our growing fiscal challenges, or will you wait until crisis hits? What's coming down the pike could make the subprime mortgage problem seem like a speed-bump.

Please read the report at www.PGPF.org, please take the time to watch this powerful film, and then please use YOUR power to do something about this problem.

Sincerely,

Your name
Your street address
City, State Zip

P.S. -- "I.O.U.S.A" premieres nationwide in theaters on August 21st, but you can watch the trailer now at www.IOUSATheMovie.com.


Here's some of the numbers: We're at a $9T federal deficit right now with the costs of the war in Iraq and the costs of this bank bail out thing not counted yet, so I'm figuring that's were the $11T came from and the $1T is misc is probably a pad number. The other numbers for SS and Medicare I've seen before in The Coming Generational Storm. That is a whole lot of place holders right there! So basically everybody in the country, including those born today, has a $175,000.00 (and growing) unsecured mortgage on their head.

Yup. Those are the numbers.

We should still be able to squeeze J6P for another two or three trillion in bail outs. Lotta "too big to fail" going around...
