A kilogram of that mortgage

[SwordsMaster]

Hi all,

Perusing the webternets, I found this piece of writing, which I think explains the financial crisis better than any of the things that have come out of CNN or whathaveyou. Please discuss.

Let’s begin with two questions:

1. Do you consider yourself financially literate?
2. If so, how did you get that way?

And now, a third question:

3. How important is widespread financial literacy to the health of a modern society?

Do you think this is scary? I believe so. Do you think people who cannot choose their mortgage should be allowed to choose the next US president? I do not think so.
