I just finished watching a very interesting documentary regarding our economy and Wall Street.

If you have Netflix it's on instant playlist; it's called simply, "The Warning."

The following link is an interview with one of the least known principles, Brooksley Born. From an interview conducted by PBS's Frontline:

"This market had gotten to be over $680 trillion in notional value as of June 2008 when it topped up. I think that was the peak. And that is an enormous market. That's more than 10 times the gross national product of all the countries in the world."

Here's a link to the Frontline piece video. It is 1 hour and very informative and powerful.

It makes you think who's running this country.
