Another MUST HEAR from the radio show "This American Life" on the Financial crisis this weekend!!!
This is actually an Update from the show that helped explain the "global pool of money" and you may have already heard part one of the show (it was on "All Things Considered" about a week ago) but the rest is new.

Check you local Public Radio station or stream it from one of these stations, listed at this website:

<http://www.publicradiofan.com/cgibin/program.pl?programid=28>

Better yet, record it and listen to it twice, because the first time you hear it, you may not fully understand all of it on first listen.

You can download the mp3 on Monday at the shows website at this link:

<http://www.thislife.org/>

If you missed it, or just want a taste, here's last weeks preview:

5. Is this the one where the former Clinton official explained how Larry Summers repealed the New Deal
And supported the repeal of Glass Steagall act,

and how the Clintonites called anyone who disagreed with the end of New Deal crazy and/or leftist?

6. No, I don't think it's that one...
...this one is mostly about the mess that was made in the last 7 years.

There is one part that I absolutely disagree with where the host, Ira Glass, say that blaming Phil Gram, who in the dead of night attached a 240+ page rider into a must pass 2000+ page spending bill on December 15, 2000, the last day of that lame-duck Congress is wrong, but other than that little flaw, this show nails it.
