“I spent my entire academic career studying the Great Depression. The depression may have started because of a stock market crash, but what hit the general economy was a disruption of credit. Average citizens unable to borrow money, to do anything. To buy a home, start a business, stock their shelves.”

“I don't really understand why there needs to be so much tension about this. The country is facing the worst economy since the Great Depression. If the financial system collapses, it will take every one of you down.”
Paul Giamatti - Ben Bernanke

“The entire economy is flat. We're in the middle of a damn recession.”

Tommy Lee Jones - Gene McClary

“America's heavy manufacturing is dead.”

Craig T. Nelson - Salinger

“Credit has the ability to build a modern economy, but lack of credit has the ability to destroy it, swiftly and absolutely.”
Paul Giamatti - Ben Bernanke
