some real economic journalism for a change
If you're looking to understand how this country got into the mess its in, I highly suggest you read this article from Rolling Stone.
If you read just one thing I link to all year, make it this one. Right now there are a lot of people trying to act like this is some big, unforeseeable event, and not the result of anyone's wrong doing. These people need the rest of us to play into the assumption that this is all to complicated for us to understand, because its the only way to keep their own asses safe from prison (or angry mobs) once the rest of us wake up to the fact that we've been swindled.
Consider this a public service announcement- 'the more you know' and all that- and take some time to read this article and research things on your own, then lets get a conversation going. Talk to your friends, loved ones, random strangers, etc and get them to keep the conversation going with others, and then maybe this country can snap out of its apathetic state.
