Like many of you, I have been trying to figure out what happened to our economy. In pursuit of the truth, I have traveled to the far corners of the earth, meditating with Buddhist monks in Nepal, studied the question with Zen masters in China, paid a gypsy fortuneteller in Romania, and talked to my barber. Through this journey of enlightenment I have concluded that:

The source of the meltdown was the unbridled pursuit of a liberal, big government initiative to fulfill every one's American dream of home ownership.

Factor in banking industry greed, corruption of a Congress, with a minority of exception, who sold their votes for campaign contributions and worse, and millions of takers who were neither qualified or prepared for the responsibilities of home ownership.

During an extremely spirtual connection through my first Dharma talk in China, I was led through a mystical and sensual mist to a great awakening by the embodiment of a deity like spirit in an earthly form called........the UTube.

If you have the courage and patience to view this 2004 UTube video to the end, you will see the height of hypocrisy by an assortment of cowardly Congressional leaders who are now holding hearings blaming everyone but themselves. Listen to the wisdom of Maxine Waters, Frank Raines and other Congressional tools. Persist viewing to the end and you will be thrilled to hear the brilliant Barney Frank reassuring America there is no problem with Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac and treated to President Bill Clinton agreeing with the Republicans. Warning...viewing the video in its entirety may really p**** you off.

My Zen master and my barber agreed that this UTube tape of a 2004 congressional hearing is historically profound as it captures the essence of the meltdown. The villains are exposed with their pants and skirts down and in their own damning words. It has appeared on TOTV before but not in the context of where we are today. It is profound in its implications for those that really want the truth so that it may never happen again.
