Even with the bills paid its just the feeling of being non-productive that leaves one "felling" lost. Especially if the only thing you know is pumping concrete?

Bob........ Not only was the stench foul enough to taste, it is hard to run the boom while holding ones nose and anothers hand. Had my familys well being been in jepardy I would have held hands and nose and ran the boom with my A$$ cheeks. Both cheeks are very greatful that I am not in desperate need nor dire straits.

I.O.U.S.A. Makes Oscar Shortlist For Best Documentary Feature


Last update: 9:53 a.m. EST Nov. 19, 2008
LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK, Nov 19, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Timely film about the growing national debt among 15 considered for nomination
I.O.U.S.A., the critically acclaimed film about the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the United States economy, is on the short list for an Oscar nomination in the Best Documentary Feature category. The film, directed by Sundance veteran Patrick Creadon (Wordplay), is among the 15 documentary features that will now advance in the voting process designating the final five nominees for next year's Academy Awards.
I.O.U.S.A. has garnered rave reviews from critics since its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. Roger Ebert of The Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three and a half stars and it has been dubbed An Inconvenient Truth for the United States economy by the many in the press.
As anxious individuals face growing economic uncertainty, both domestically and abroad, the film has been the focus of a unique groundswell of interest and grassroots activity. Educators are bringing the film to their classrooms as a vital teaching tool, while young Americans are using the film on college campuses to raise awareness among their peers on fiscal issues crucial to their futures.
Advocacy and watchdog groups, along with various community organizations around the nation, have been hosting private screenings of I.O.U.S.A. for members and local residents. (A full listing of scheduled screenings can be found on the film's official website at www.IOUSATheMovie.com/events.)
A 30-minute version of I.O.U.S.A., which is now available for viewing on the film's website ( www.IOUSATheMovie.com), and on YouTube ( www.YouTube.com), has also been a vital tool for a growing number of citizens seeking to spread the film's important messages.
Pointedly topical and consummately nonpartisan, I.O.U.S.A. paints a vivid and alarming profile of America's current economic situation and drives home the message that the time to begin addressing America's financial future is now. The film follows former U.S. Comptroller General David M. Walker and Robert Bixby of the Concord Coalition as they crisscross the country explaining America's unsustainable fiscal policies to its citizens as part of the Fiscal Wake-up Tour. The film also features candid interviews with noted experts such as Warren Buffett, Alan Greenspan, Paul O'Neill, Robert Rubin, and Paul Volcker, as well as with everyday citizens.
The record-setting August opening included an unprecedented town hall featuring financial and policy experts such as Warren Buffett and Peter G. Peterson Foundation's Chairman Pete Peterson and CEO Dave Walker, which was beamed via satellite to over 350 movie theaters in 42 states across the country.
The Academy Awards nominations will be announced on Thursday, January 22, 2009. The 81st Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2008 will be presented on Sunday, February 22, 2009.
