When one finds himself daily chronicling the collapse of a once trusted administration, albeit short lived, a once thriving economy, causing the collapse of a once thriving empire while the world watch their hopes and dreams follow suit , it is sometimes difficult to single out the most critical event on any given day to give ones attention to. Whether it was another winning performance in last night’s debate for Barack Obama over John McCain in the town hall meeting environment McCain has been begging for, or the story breaking about Wall Street (A.I.G) executives partying like it was 1999 with taxpayer bailout money as they rewarded themselves for a job poorly done, or the emergency .5 basis pt. drop by the Federal Reserve, there is always something that seems to trump all others when pushed to make a choice. Our choice of the hottest issue of the moment is the real fundamental crisis that must be solved to get the country back on its feet. Americans need jobs, jobs, jobs and m

Crisis in the Credit System is a four-part drama dealing with the credit crisis, scripted and directed by artist Melanie Gilligan. A major investment bank runs a brainstorming and role-playing session for its employees, asking them to come up with strategies for coping with today s dangerous financial climate. Role-playing their way into increasingly bizarre scenarios, they find themselves drawing disturbing conclusions about the deeper significance of the crisis and its effects beyond the world of finance. Using fiction to communicate what is left out of documentary accounts of the crisis, the short, TV-style episodes reflect the strangeness of life today in which the financial abstractions that govern our lives appear to be collapsing. Crisis in the Credit System, commissioned and produced by Artangel Interaction, is the result of extensive research and conversation with major hedge fund managers, key financial journalists, economists, bankers and debt activists. http://www.crisisinthecreditsystem.org.uk

How did Richard Fuld get richer as his company failed?

How did Lehman Bros.' CEO get richer as his company failed?

Here's a quick, simple primer on how the hell we got in this mess...

With unmitigated gall, perfectly tempered a by an Oscar winning performance displaying deep pain for his company’s failure, Lehman Bros. CEO Richard Fuld successfully defended his $484 million earnings in salary, bonuses and stock sales since 2000,while the financial giant was being run into the ground. The show hearing on Capital Hill provided great theater as congressional inquisitors played to their constituents back home by making sure they were seen sticking it to the rich guys. But since most Americans should be aware by now, absolutely nothing is going to happen to the robber barons of Wall Street, it won’t be long before things cool off and it is business as usual all over again. We watched Henry Waxman ask tough questions like; how could Lehman Bros. approve $23.2 million for three outgoing executives’ just days before the company filed for bankruptcy? We saw Mr. Fuld take “full responsibility” for everything that occurred that led to the country’s largest bankruptcy ever b
