I.O.U.S.A. 'Star' Available for Interview on Film's Premiere

Robert Bixby, executive director of The Concord Coalition and one of the people featured in the movie "I.O.U.S.A.," is available to comment on the film and its expected impact on the federal budget debate. "I.O.U.S.A" premieres this Thursday in a special showing in theatres across America. The Thursday evening screening will be followed by a live panel discussion broadcast to all theatres, hosted by Warren Buffet and emceed by CNBC's Becky Quick.

"I.O.U.S.A." boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States and its citizens. Burdened with an ever-expanding government and military, increased international competition, overextended entitlement programs, and debts to foreign countries that are becoming impossible to honor, America must mend its spendthrift ways or face an economic disaster of epic proportions. The film follows Bixby and former Comptroller General and Peter G. Peterson Foundation President and CEO David Walker on their "Fiscal Wake-Up Tour" across the country, where they focus attention on our nation's daunting long-term fiscal challenges and lead a realistic public dialogue on what we want our nation's future to look like, along with the required trade-offs.
