"I place economy among the first and most important virtues and public debt as the greatest of dangers. We must make our choice between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." - Thomas Jefferson


IN DEBT WE TRUST: America Before The Bubble Bursts is the new documentary feature by Danny Schechter, "the News Dissector," a filmmaker with 20 films to his credit including WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception on the media coverage of the Iraq war.

IN DEBT WE TRUST is a startlilng film about the debt burden that millions of Americans are struggling with and a forecast of the fiscal crisis that faces our country when the ballooning national debt comes due. Our addiction to consumption and debt as a national pastime is an issue that cuts across political, racial, class and generational lines. Over time, Congress has virtually legalized loan sharking by financial institutions, leaving hard-working Americans at the short end of a bad deal. This film is about fighting back.
