In this clip from "I.O.U.S.A.: Live," 14-year-old Daniel asks about what young people can do to help pay for baby boomers' Social Security, and what the next president should do to fix the looming crisis.

Peterson Foundation; and Dave Walker, president & CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation and former U.S. Comptroller General. The discussion was moderated by CNBC's Becky Quick. The live panel discussion was simulcast to hundreds of theatres nationwide following the premiere of the documentary I.O.U.S.A., now showing in a theatre near you.

Sep 12, 2008 - The rich people are already footing almost an insane % of the tax brackett ... that would do nothing for the problem. The main point of failure is with our broken two party system which accomplishes nothing and they serve only to stifle the other while doing zero for the country. The two parties are the same worthless bunch ..

Sep 6, 2008 - Actually I have a radical idea for that 14-yr-old... what if we get the uber-rich folks in the US (Hollywood anyone?) and show them this movie and clips and see if they would willingly put down at least $1 million (a drop in the bucket to some of them) to help pay down the Federal Debt? Instead of borrowing from foreign countries that we would owe for decades, why not inspire rich Americans to help Save America, and donate to help get us out of this massive hole?? What do you think?
