    "The film chronicles the inside stories of the Bear Stearns deal
    Lehman Brothers’ collapse, the propping up of insurance giant AIG
    and the $700 billion bailout. Inside the Meltdown examines what
    Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman
    Ben Bernanke didn’t see, couldn’t stop and haven’t been able to fix."

    It's on PBS? Let me save you the trouble of watching............... They will say it's all George W. Bush's fault and if Al Gore had been elected this would never have happened and the world would be frolicking around in love with one another and no global warming and........................
     
  7. Watch out for mainstream media bullshit mixed with a little bit of truth...

    They will probably blame it on Lehman Brothers...
     
  8. You have no clue. That's not my opinion or an insult, but a fact.

    There is no politicization of the genesis of the problem by Frontline.

    Watch and see. If I'm wrong, I'll buy you a bag of rippers or sliders.

    (The meltdown was as much the dems fault as the repubs - easy credit, no doc, no verification, big money mortgages - insanity on a bipartisan and galactic scale)
