I had really never thought about the connection between competition for "good" schools and the economic difficulties faced by so many families. Warren backs up her claims with substantial research, which is helpful when so much of what she says goes against the conventional wisdom of how people get into financial distress. It's a little scary to think how close many of us are to disaster, no matter how carefully we avoid a daily latte--she shows that medical emergencies, job loss, and divorce account for almost all bankruptcies, and there is little most of us can do to avoid those things that we aren't already doing. It's a very thought-provoking read.
Senator Warren makes a valid point about how the two working family has changed our lives. Senator Warren blasts Ms. Clinton about her support of the bankruptcy bill which makes life much harder on the unfortunate individuals who find themselves trapped in debit, Than Senator Warren goes out and makes speeches in support of Ms. Clinton. Senator Warren you can not have it both ways.
Read this for an anticipated class, which I decived not to take. The book was interesting, though!
Exactly as expected.
