America descends into Depression, Congress vacations. 15B in US/foreign shareholder wealth without protection & we spend 250B a year in Iraq?Maybe Congress should live in Iraq. Common shareholders, foreign investment depends on full faith & credit, we abandoned gold and silver long ago--no one will EVER trust a US GSE again. EVER. Protect current shareholders, otherwise, this Depression making loss of full faith & credit, our only remaining asset when paper replaced specie, is our future

Our economy does well on efficient inexpensive power. When ever the price of energy goes up the economy tanks.

If they bail out home owners, they are bailing out the banks. If home owners go under with the housing bubble crash, what do you think will happen? Banks will be short on credit and forced to declare bankruptcy.

Great vid Don! There is a lot of apathy going on in America. Glad to see You woke up! When America's creditcards are blocked and accounts got suspended, you can/can't imagine what would happen. I mean you can't eat grass! I hold my heart for the future of all of you.

Tis a tragedy that the motherland's have fallen by the hands of her own greed...Tis even more so that one so young-minded as I still cannot comprehend the future laden before me...Tis a tragedy...Where can i go or what can i do to learn more about America's financial and political systems?

Another stimulus package is a good idea. The fact that the recession was caused by stupidity and greed does not mean that every treatment for it is also stupid and greedy. It is important to know a bit of economics in order to understand which is which.

We got here by politicians voting to get reelected. The unfunded liabilities of the Federal Government pail the losses of the banks.David Walker, CEO and President of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, warns of Washington's fiscal immorality that could lead to America's financial ruin. Dave is the former Comptroller General of the United States and former head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
