As gasoline, food, and health care costs continue to rise, Americans are looking for solutions to their ever-growing list of financial challenges.

The acclaimed documentary, “I.O.U.S.A,” which addresses these issues, opened Aug. 21 in 400 theaters.

In a recent interview with Prime Time Radio’s Mike Cuthbert, former U.S. Comptroller General David Walker, who is in the documentary, said that when compared to other countries, the United States is “below average” in education, health care, and in saving money. He argued that Americans are “addicted to debt.”
