Ecomomics Assignment

In class today we watched a short introduction to the documentary I.O.U.S.A. which discusses the "rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens."

I would like you to watch the documentary and submit a written reaction to its content. Your written submission must be at least 500 words, typed using Times New Roman font, font size 12, and double-spaced, with page margins of one-inch. Please feel free to submit a longer response.

Here is a link to the full movie:

The documentary is a little dated. Therefore, you should also watch some of the videos available here:

Specifically, there are five videos that cover some proposed solutions to the problem.

Additional notes:

When writing a reaction paper here are some questions that you may consider:

1. Did the movie hold your interest? Why or why not?
2. Did the movie bother or annoy you? Why or why not?
3. What did you realize as a result of watching the movie?
4. What questions does the movie raise for you - about the material, or about other things?
5. Does the movie remind you of readings that you have done for this class? Compare and contrast the piece to those readings?
