"If the Bank of America knew the truth..."


 How would you characterize this woman's facial expression as she's making out bills?

What do you think the caption means? How is this attitude typical of suburbia in the 70's? How might it foreshadow today's banking crisis?

Discuss the following issues and whether they are still relevent in suburbia 2010:
     Living beyond our means
     Equating the "good life" with material possessions
     Maxing out our credit cards
     Having more materials possessions and being more "labor intensive"

  1. I think her expression could be described as "brainwashed." If only she understood the truth about Bank of America and the real architects of our world.

  2. I think this is a very fun thing to look at. looking at all of the lady's high hairdo's and my grandma tell me about the outfits that they had back in the day was incredible. we were all laughing and looking at the old days, anybody would get a kick out of this exhibit.
