FRONTLINE | Close to Home: Sneak Peek 1 | PBS

[jaemegrrl]

As a hairdresser in California, I have had to find ways to make ends meet. I am watching my cliente drop off like flies, I have taken in boarders to pay for the mortgage. I have taken on a second job as a stylist at the mall (god forbid) and have started to look for teaching positions to carry me into my 60's. This video sounded like my life, almost to a T.

This is sad. Yet how much has been done to change things since this program aired. Not enough -- and I doubt that anyone has all the answers.

Great special. Another beauty from FRONTLINE and director Ofra Bikel.

How naive

[WunderMaus]

I've been watching the headlight of that freight train coming for quite a while now... The sound deafens my ears and the light fills my field of vision. Soon there will be impact and nothing... just the sucking in of a last gasp of air... such is the analogy of a nation overtaken by corporate greed and corruption.

[morleigh13]

Yes, it's the upper east side. Everyone else is supposed to suffer except the rich. What arrogance!

[fliegeroh]

Yeah, that woman really irks me. The feeling of entitlement. I hope she suffers a lot.

[JulieRebu07]

All part of Corporate Americas plan to destroy America and turn us into a 3rd World Country - with their Corporate Corruption Fraud outsoucing American Jobs and Wall Street Corruption - and throw in the corrupt politicians and you have a recipe for Disaster !
