Reality Out of Sync

This is a call for information (or an RFC if you like)

I’m not too terribly knowledgeable about the minutia of how our financial crisis began and then brought us to this situation that we are in now. I’m sure others more knowledgeable than myself can provide information or links to information that will bring me up to speed. I have my own link, which I received in an e-mail:

Has any one seen this video/show and agreed/disagreed/had no opinion with it? If so, what side of the fence are you on, if you’re on a side at all? If you disagree, is there any information that was witheld that could make this meager piece of information I was passed be a little more useful to me in forming an opinion and if this affects my voting in November? If you agree, is there any information that would help support your stance.

I’m not asking because I’m lazy, but I just am not sure with all of the information out there with regards to the finances of our country right now, and google knows there’s a hell of a lot, where to start. If I had just a starting place that is at least pretending to be unbiased (not turning it into a partisan issue) then I’d be happy to read.
