"Responsibility" and "values", two four letter words never to be uttered on CNBC, until this morning. Guest Jim Chanos offers context into how we got ourselves into this mess, context being another word not understood by CNBC. I don't know much about this gentleman but he might make a great Secretary of the Treasury. What a refreshing relief from Kudlow, Cramer, and Burnett. The first video is about 2 minutes long and should be required viewing for every citizen. The second one is about 5 minutes.
