Burning Down The House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis?
2008-09-27
Interesting and informative video that attempts to trace the cause of our current crisis.

#14  The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.

#13  JQC, I do believe you are right. That and allowing certain Congresscritters and CEOs to make a killin'.

#12  Maybe I'm cynical but it seems more and more like the risky, no money down, full price house financing loans was a largely Democratic plan to buy low income votes (Dodd, Franks, Obama, and others) and to get kickbacks campaign fund donations from Fannie and Freddie.

#8  Wolf Dog,
Please watch the video. It shows Bush tried to fix the problem early on. Senator Dodd was a major culprit and Barak Obama esq. was a major litigant in making the problem worse.

#3  Beautiful.

I would like to mention that Mr. Raines did lower his handicap to the single digits while he was out of work. C'mon, that's gotta count for something, no?
