Hate your Credit Card Bills? MAXED OUT – NOW ON DVD
Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of “preferred customer” and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us. Great for college students.

Obama Signs Credit Card Reform
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT SIGNING OF
THE CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY AND

Rose Garden

And we’re here today because of a bill that will make a big difference: the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act.
