Your Call 091009 Do you know where your money is?

A year after the collapse of Fannie Mae and Lehman Brothers, do you know where your money is? On the next Your Call we'll speak with Nomi Prins, author of It Takes a Pillage: Behind the Bailouts, Bonuses and Backroom Deals from Washington to Wall Street, about the death and rebirth of the financial industry on your dime. Why did the bankers get a bail-out and not foreclosed homeowners? Where did all that TARP money end up?

Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or join us live at 11 a.m. How do we get rid of the banking system we have and get one that works for us? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
