I am not sure what the point the NY Times was making this morning with their articles on Ruth Madoff (Bernie's wife), the Harvard Students seeking aid, the former owner of the exclusive Yellowstone Club now reduced to millions (in debt), the man who lives with his mother desperately seeking work, any work, or Barbara Ehrenreich editorial recounting her eponymous work, Nickel and Dimed.
