Why you care is because one explains how that home credit line you thought was there for a rainy day, may have gotten washed away.

...because you shouldn't need a decoder ring to understand the business pages.
Why You Care...
In order to understand how the tug of war over money, power and land between Capitol Hill and Wall Street impacts your life you MUST understand the business pages. But, sometimes trying feels like you need a decoder ring. That's where we come in: We are at once - a veteran journalist, and a long time professor of finance and real estate law. This is our journalistic and academic effort to explain why you care about the complexities of Washington and Wall Street by highlighting solid reporting and decoding the business pages along the way.
Why WE Care
