Default The wnewberry22 post is poison and should be treated as such.

LMAO So uninformed. The unindependent audit shows little. The watered down audit bill that did go through outed the Fed as having given trillions away to foreign banks and companies.
What next the sun rises in the west?

The GSE's in a misguided business decision bought up a bunch of alt-a (not subprime) loans and these were the one's that suffered the majority of defaults...obviously we know now that this was a bad move but at the time Alt-A loans were considered (slightly) safer...they were generally issued to borrowers with higher incomes and better credit scores. But hindsight is always 20/20...
You're just discussing symptoms instead of the cause. Why are you posting when you don't know what caused the problem?

Because you say so? Why listen to you, you've been wrong about most everything else in this thread and you don't understand economics. Use a meaningless cliche like "too big to fail". That's always good for a laugh at your expense.
Hows that recovery working out sport?

You don't manipulate the free market and expect good things to happen in the long run. That is the cause of the booms and busts. Giving free money to drunks never works. "Free money" was the cause of our housing collpase, it was the cause of the dot com bubble and its the reason why college costs are sky rocketing. How many more times does it need to happen before you get a clue?

The fiscal issues are major.
What this country needs is more Americans like you, dream.
