What exactly did Iraq and Afghanistan have to do with sub-prime lending? |
precisely.
someone needs to watch ...

of the "crisis of credit" video, really shows you how all this stuff got started without someone going out on a politically motivated witch hunt.
seriously, i recommend these videos.
this is the problem we have with this nation
Whenever Person A recommends action or a change of direction... Person B jumps on the "Well its all Person A's fault we're in this mess to begin with" band wagon
and those discussions always go nowhere.
My opinion...
if you lend irresponsibly - and subsequently go broke because of it - it is NOT the governments place borrow all my money so they can save you.
if you run your business irresponsibly - and subsequently you have to risk going bankrupt - it is NOT the governments place to borrow all my money so they can save you.
If your home gets forclosed on because you purchased a vast over priced mantion even though your a minimum wage worker - it is NOT the governments place to take my money and give it to you so you can continue to live a life of financial reckless abandon.
see the pattern here?
