This should be required listening for every citizen…

Absolutely brilliant research, reporting and retelling of the way Wall Street stole both parties in Washington.

Since the formation of the privately owned Federal Reserve system America has fallen under the control of the banking elite.

Dem Inc & Rep Inc share the same business model, taking as much money as possible from as many as possible to keep the country divided and conquered, but there will come a moment of awakening, and Meltdown could just be it.

Everyone should listen to this audio

Couldn't stop listening and will listen to it again. Some of the information I was aware of, but much of it was new and gave me a deeper understanding of the scope of the debacle.

overall great breakdown of the financial crisis and why US government today needs to be dismantled. it's America so it's unlikely to stay objective but David S tried atleast in the beginning.

Very Informative!

Loved every minute of the story... told in a captivating manner and really helped with understanding a complex issue brushed over in the mainstream at the time (in typical media fashion). Thank you for the excellent breakdown!

Great!

This is one of the best podcasts I've ever heard. I wish everyone could hear it. I have trouble understanding economics in general but everything here was clearly explained and the connection between the financial meltdown, Obama and Trump clearly made. The discouraging part is it doesn't seem Democrats have learned a single thing and Republicans - well, they are who they are. We'll see what comes next I guess..
