Oct 4, 2008 - wow that was eye opening and so much more useful than the evening news gloss over of this topic. It also opens the door on the surge of small govt. agenda of the middle class who can't afford to do anything but to manage their own squeezed dollars. It's interesting she starts in 1971 since that is when nixon took us off the gold standard. Wonder if that is coincidence?

Very well researched, well presented and thought provoking. Makes you wonder which direction are we headed. A MUST watch for anyone who is concerned about their's and their children's future.

Nov 3, 2008 - It is sad to see, but this lecture affirms the rationale why I am changing the focus of my law practice from estate planning (helping the wealthy avoid federal estate taxes) to bankruptcy and helping people get a fresh start. Perhaps we can examine ways to reduce our slavery to the almighty FICO credit score. If the govt could back mortgages with the monthly note being a percentage (say 35-40%) of one's verified income, then we could heal the housing market. Until then, I will be very busy.

Nov 17, 2008 - Taxpayers are going under. Austerity and restructure are not something the American people are ready to digest. That fact in itself could cause a crash in the socio-economic fabric (It probably will in my view).

Nov 21, 2008 - not all of it is a bad idea, credit gives people access to goods they would not have brazilian people getting samsung dvds etc credit without limits or multiple credit cards without an understanding of financing is the problem
