Just watched this last night with my GF. If you want to see a train wreck of over consumption meshed together with the great recession... take a look at this on Netflix Instant.

A documentary that follows a billionaire couple as they begin construction on a mansion inspired by Versailles. During the next two years, their empire, fueled by the real estate bubble and cheap money, falters due to the economic crisis.

And the point is what? That the rich can be as clueless as the poor?

At least they pay (lots of) taxes.

It's really beyond clueless... the waste was truly over the top.

As for the point, it reallt illustrates (at least for me) how f'd up we really are.... (we being society) and to think some would aspire to live like that... Can't imagine how many Earths we'd need if everyone lived like they did!
