Financial crisis

I can’t believe this has not been done already, but here goes; here we have an hour long a musical commentary on the current credit crunch/financial crisis/worst economic thing to happen in the last 70 years. At the end of this podcast are a couple of suggestions for a solution to the economic meltdown. We could, as the Silvertones suggest and have a little faith and put our trust in Jah, or we could follow the suggestions made by Derrick Morgan swiftly followed by the same suggestion made by U Brown.
