replies: text: is the name of the film. It's a combination of I.O.U. (phonetically "I Owe You"), and U.S.A. (United States of America). "I.O.U.S.A." is not, in and of itself, an acronym. --BizMgr (talk) 15:13, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I am attempting to find editoral sources which support these facts.
In the "solutions" section at the end of I.O.U.S.A., the movie perscribes 3 solutions, taxes, social security and health care reform, but ignores the US military budget, which is the larger than all countries in the world combined. 
:(See: US_military_budget#Comparison_with_other_countries). 
::In 2003, the United States spent about 47% of the world's total military spending of US$910.6 billion, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
::Military discretionary spending accounts for more than half of the U.S. federal discretionary spending.
I understand that when you take the interest on what we borrow for this military budget, it is the largest expenditure in the US government.
The movie mentioned getting out of Iraq (3% of our budget), but never once mentioned the military budget as a whole.
I think despite sounding non-partisan the movie interviewed more conservatives, including the Heritage Foundation and Ron Paul.
Any sources which bring up this glaring omission would be appreciated to add to the article. Ikip (talk) 22:53, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
