Michael Dokupil has been following the development of the current economic crisis since 2007, and he anticipated many of the current credit problems. Michael will discuss the factors that precipitated the recession and how they might have been prevented, current efforts to bring the economy back in line and their chances of success, and where the country, and the world, are headed.

WARNING: This will put a damper on your day.
