  5. This episode hit home for real. As a lifelong Iowan it was hard to see a couple of those people from my home state struggle so much. I know that if my circumstances were different it could easily have been me. I still worry about money to this day, even if things are seemingly going well. That was a very small fraction of what millions of people in this country go through. Definitely puts things into perspective.

  10. Frontline did an amaaaazing job with this piece. And the kids (now adults) were just amazing bright lights. I hope their light never dims. ❤

  11. You have to to talk about economic and class issue if you wanna solve this, just individualism aint solving this. This is a class war!. I dont think PBS frontine would talk about this, because their own higher ups may not like it. People should read what truth of banking,its history,hiw it was founded on a fraud and the whole system is based on taking value from 99% and give it to the top. Read about MMT, read some Marx criticism, read Noam Chomsky, Chris hedges etc. Realize that the incentive of any state is to keep its people economic insecure and isolated.

  13. A lot of people in the USA are debt poor. It’s just a matter of time before the economy collapses, and the banks take it all in a destabilized “democratic” country. Always stay humble, trials and tribulations do not discriminate.
