"Meltdown"

                              Last night, I missed frontline on pbs.
But, I was able to catch it online here:  www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meltdown
It was an eye opening documentary on the current state of our economy.  Over the last few years, I've caught myself wondering why people are surprised that this has happened?  To me,  there is a basic principal of common sense that has been missing in our lives.  The kind that you teach your 3 year old at the candy store:  "You only have a quarter, which means you can only buy the candy from this bin".   However, this show really helped explain not only the magnitude of the situation, but also the massive system that is in place on Wall Street and in Washington.
