Summary: You'll never want to use a credit card again!
Comment: I was shocked, appalled, but enlightened after seeing this video.
EVERY consumer who uses credit products should see this film. It's socially irresponsible not too!
We have been duped! We've been taken for a ride and are paying a high cost for it.
The credit cards are now cut up and they will never be used again!
You have to see this! That's all I can say. You will never view a piece of plastic the same way again!

Summary: For such a time as this
Comment: At time when our country is in crises because of lenders making NINJA Loans (No Income. No Job. No Assets), there is not a better time for people to buy and watch Maxed Out. Maxed Out paints a sobering picture of credit practices that ruin people's lives. Although Maxed Out accurately explains that borrowers cannot depend on lenders to advise them in setting proper limits on borrowing, it does not place enough emphasis on the individual's responsibility for his own actions. William Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, Neither a borrower nor lender be." Maxed Out explains why Shakespeare's advice is so sound for us today.

Summary: A bit one sided
Comment: Saw this movie last night. While it was enjoyable (I really like the documentary style of story telling), I did find the personal responsiblity side overlooked. Then at the very end, it read ...in association with ACORN, or something like that. This is the same group that pressured congress into the whole Freddy Mac/Fannie May fiasco that we're dealing with now. The same group who almost got BILLIONS of dollars in this crazy bailout that our grandchildren will still have to pay. Thanks to those in congress who took that handout away from ACORN. They are B. Obamas biggest contributor (and why not, he was once their lawyer). They are involved in voter fraud galore, and many in their organization have gone to jail. As with everything else, buyer beware. Just quit asking your fellow citizens to bail you out when you make a bad decision.

Summary: It's MOURNING in America, the real Ground Zero, and the rich are getting richer at the same time
Comment: This is one great documentary about our great shame. The depression we feel now in 2008 has its roots in a lack of fundamental respect from those in leadership positions since 1981.
The spendaholics that were voted to Washington to run (or ruin) America are highlighted in this story that everyone who lives in America has witnessed personally, unless you are or have been a member of Congress. Ok, that is wrong. If you influence Congresspersons, you haven't felt the sting either.
When you watch this movie, you realize that there is no reason for this much pain to be allowed to exist.
You realize that the dark side of human nature is more prevalent in our financial community than in all the caves of primitive countries.
When you find out that MBNA wrote the last changes to the bankruptcy laws.
When you find out that the analysis used to target the weakest among us to create economic slavery from cradle to grave is still being defended instead of castigated in Washington.
When you watch the shrub say, "Let's not burden Iraq with loans, all they can pay us with is oil" and then realize what he just said, and immediately end the conversation was amazing.

Summary: Eye Opening
Comment: In light of recent events, the ("loan") buyout of AIG and Fannie Mae, everyone should read this book!! It explains it all, and was written BEFORE it all happened. This guy is a genius and the book is pretty light hearted and funny considering the serious subject.
