Ever wonder where your money goes?

[plural]

I'm the first to admit that most of what I post here
while entertaining, amusing and perhaps even insightful
isn't really all the important to your daily lives

but, ernunnos posted this video and you really need to watch it.

It is a lecture by Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren in which she describes what happened to middle class incomes over the last thirty years, and where we're going next.

Sure it is an hour long.
Sure it is a lecture at berkley.
Seriously, suck it up because it will dramatically change your perspective.

No excuses, tivo dollhouse or whatever TV show you were about to watch
and watch this instead.

but watching this. I only heard on the financial crisis.

I think that is something that one could say we are all rather guilty of.

It is much easier to make observations than pose solutions.

Indeed, in this she seems mostly to be presenting interesting observations rather than solutions.

I'd be interested to hear some of her proposals, as I've found that when smart people propose even poor solutions, they are usually interesting to examine anyway
