Having just looked at your Whiteboard video on "Fallout" as you call much of the economic damage now taking place,why not describe it as likely to affect multiple generations, you are after all talking about not just billions of dollars, but trillions of dollars in indebtedness? This seems almost certainly to effect not only this present U.S. formal govt administration but administrations into the forseeable future as well as generations of citizens into the forseeable future? It seems to me that "bare bones" honesty(ie transparency) at all levels of authority--informal and formal--is what is really needed here because if people come to believe that their leaders are not being completely upfront about the challenges we face then they may become the disaffected as well as the economically poor, with all due respect isn't that so?

I'd gladly give up all the BBC reruns on PBS for lunch breaks with Paddy Hirsch explaining the bloody mess we find ourselves in today! Just more evidence of why we all need to contribute to our public radio and television networks... bravo!

Unbelievably great videos. I am actively following the coverage of the financial crisis and these videos were the best explanation of what happened. Great work guys thank you for your efforts.
