The Bailout and Why it was Needed.

Get smart this weekend. National Public Radio has a long-running radio show called "This American Life" that is entertaining, thought provoking and just plain excellent. I downoad it automatically from I-Tunes and listen when I am driving in my car. Last weeks show was about the financial meltdown and the bailout and it is one of the best explanations of the entire mess and how it occurred.
