I started watching this and had to stop. Debt is the darkest sin of my life and I felt sick. It is on the DVR, I will go back to it.

I watched this as well and while it does make me angry I do think it's time everyone took their share of the responsability in this crisis.......:-) Hugs

It is a dark picture all around. I certainly have no plans of not being responsible. I have paid everything all along and pay I still will.

I just do feel terrible about the intersection of what this is, what caused it and the collective aftermath.

That and that the banks do get bailed out... what responsibility is shown there?
