I read the book and it scares the hell out of me.

One nice thing about "Bankruptcy 1995" is that it contains a "Debt Buster's"  
guide to action.  It suggests all sorts of measures, such as writing or calling  
representatives, organizing petition drives and letter-writing campaigns.  The  
book includes addresses and phone numbers for the President and Congress.   
There are even some guidelines for staging media events.

As a first step, I wrote to my Senators, to:
    tell them this is the most important issue now facing our country
    warn that we are headed for economic collapse
    ask what they intend to do about it
    urge them to support fiscal responsibility

I recommend that you do the same.  Invest 29 cents in your nation's future.
