    Default CNBC House of Cards - Great Show!

    I just watched CNBC's House of Cards, a show about the causes of the mortgage mess, and ultimately, the financial crisis we're in now.

    I thought I would post because the show is being repeated tonite (Saturday) at 10:00 pm and tomorrow (Sunday) at 9:00 pm.

    Did anyone else watch it? I'd love to hear your thoughts.... I'm a financial-news junkie, and I thought they did a great job explaining this complex mess in an easy-to-understand way -- even my dh found it interesting. The stories of the families profiled really drove home how tragic it is.

    Also airing on 3/2 at midnight - just set the tivo to record it then.
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"
