Bankruptcy
A few years ago, home ownership was at an all time high, unemployment just 5.6% and falling. But when the bottom fell out of the real estate market, millions of Americans fell on hard times. Some lost everything. And it’s not just people and businesses who’ve suffered. All over the country, entire cities are going broke. On the next “Inside Man,” Morgan Spurlock visits the city of Stockton, California, which recently declared bankruptcy.
Drought

Unions
Labor unions gave us weekends, child labor laws, and the guaranteed minimum wage. They virtually created the American middle class. But a lot of people are asking what unions have they done for us lately. In the United States, union membership has been on the decline for half a century. And lately, they’ve come under attack. Workers still need protection, but the question is: Are unions still the best way for them to get it?
