Hi, I have a question about money merge accounts. What is your opinion of them? My brother has just about got me talked into putting everything in and out of a line of credit money merge acct. Seems to make sense to me but is there any danger that I am not seeing? On a side note... where might one send you a CD for use on the show? or check out both of my son's CDs and my husband's too...

I can't understand why the people responsible for the subprime debacle aren't being held accountable in some way.
If the mortgage brokers and the financial institutions didn't break any laws lending to inappropriate buyers, aren't there any civil violations? SOMEBODY made a lot of money, and now the millions or billions of losses are falling on the families losing their homes and banks reporting unprecedented losses.
Someone profited on the backs of these people!
Thanks for a great show!
