I'm sorry I don't know the exact title of the special program. About debt and how much
money these companies make off of us. Sounds interesting, so thought I'de share;-)

I went to www.pbs.org and found information on "Frontline: Secret History of the Credit Card".
All my best,

Thanks for posting. I watched because I saw your post. Most of it was info we who post here already know.
What surprised (shocked may be a better word) was that they interviewed someone who said he had the money to pay off his cc balance but would rather put the money away in case he lost his job. To me that is like saying I'd rather waste money every month rather than putting it away in a savings/money market account where it can make money for me. Did this guy not realize taht he could better off by having an emergency fund rather than paying a cc 20% interest every month. Sorry if this doesn't make sense but it is late, and I have the worst head cold so I am not thinking straight.
Just wanted to say thanks for posting about the program.
