Default Maxed Out

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12306509/site/newsweek/

Has anyone seen this documentary?
I want to buy a DVD but have not been able to find one.
Any info on where I can buy one or see the movie in the Washington DC area would be appreciated.

The link above is very interesting. What is written about Citibanks trolling in Mississippi is sickening though.

Been there, not going there again!! It is like being in hell and I can understand why people feel so trapped and helpless. Now getting completely out of debt has become my biggest focus!

I have been lucky, I never let myself get too deeply in dept. At one time, I let myself get about $5000 in credit card debt. I got it paid off, and I never let the card get above $500 any more!!
