Business Daily: America's debt crisis

Business Daily

Available for over a year

In Business Daily we ask if America is on the verge of a European-style debt-crisis? A former government chief auditor, David Walker, says the multi-trillion-dollar debt could make it ripe fruit for market contagion. Plus, how many drugs would you take for a forty-thousand dollar income? We speak to a man in the US who made a living for years by taking untested pharmaceuticals to find out whether they had any nasty side-effects. He claims the industry of so-called "guinea pigs" is largely unregulated.
