Where's the Truth behind the Financial Mess?

Finding the truth behind the economic crisis and the collapse of major financial institutions is the new job of former California State Treasurer, Phil Angelides.  As chair of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, he's committed himself and the other members "to pursuing the facts and uncovering whatever is underneath whatever rock…. And hopefully avoid this kind of thing happening again in the foreseeable future."  With a topic as highly charged as this one, can he keep ideology and partisanship at bay and find the real answers?

 

Guests:

Phil Angelides, chair of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.  He is former California State Treasurer.

iWHAT??

Maybe one day we’ll look back on them like P.O.G.s or Beanie Babies, but iPhone apps are currently all the rage. From ‘Cannabis’—an app that helps locate the closest drug dealer, and one that sounds an alarm as drivers approach police speed traps, to iFart and PullMyFinger (and the subsequent iFart-PullMyFinger lawsuit), Patt takes stock of the wide world of iPhone.
