Just for kicks, do a little research on why the economy tanked. Specifically, look at the policies that were put in place that led to the sub-prime mortgaged fueled real estate bubble and when those policies were put in place. Your comments suggest that you don't have the slightest idea of what happened and why. If the future, stop and think before you make a post that makes it abundantly clear that you have no idea what you are talking about. I am sorry to be so blunt but it is what it is.
