A companion film to 'Maxed Out': 'In Debt We Trust'

In Debt We Trust is a film written and produced by Danny Schechter, that explores the debt issue. I learned of it from reading Carolyn Baker's

blog.

Golly, one could make a number of analogies comparing debt to drugs, couldn't one? Addiction, false needs, anxiety, false sense of security... someone has already made a comparison to the debt industry with organized crime.

I think I'd like to see this film. It would be helpful to have it spelled out to me that I'm not supposed to be saving money so I can afford needs and my own personal wants regardless of where my income is at for my own personal freedom and security, but rather that investors in banks and credit card companies are counting on me to get in trouble so they can buy $6,000 shower curtains and H3s.
If that's not the purpose of my being here, but rather to make the most of the opportunity to grow my income and financial security and do good works for those who need them, then it's key to shut out most of the MSM and any promotions/propaganda/advertising. I'm in it for freedom, not for servitude to Bank of America.

    Hey, when you all come down to Bellingham, wave hi to me. Did it say where it was playing?

    **LuckyRobin, the Pickford Theatre is having noonhour screenings. Are you planning to go see the film too?

    I'd like to if I can get a sitter. Pickford is a great little theater. I guess I should have figured it would be in Fairhaven, that's the granola/cultural section of Bellingham and where all the best unique little shops are. DH will be gone by then so finding a sitter is my requirement. I may just end up waiting for it to be on DVD.
