    You can start by looking into how studies show how minorities (whom the video tries to blame the crisis on) - were steered into sub prime loans even when they qualified for prime. This should not surprise anyone, as lots of financially unsophisticated people entered the market, which is what happens when you expand the mortgage pool.

    Brokers, who were comped on yield spread, had every reason to offer "easy doc" loans - and worse, including a lot of the neg am stuff and ARMS, because they could take someone that had a 700 credit score but didnt know better, and make a killing on YSP. There were mortgage brokers across the country making 250k a year plus doing this right out of college from 2004-06.

    Funny, the video doesn't talk much at all about the Fitch/Moodys/etc rating agencies, which were not looked at, or the SEC, which was not ordered to look at it. Or Rick Davis, who works for McCain, like *now*, and is in the hip pocket of fannie mae. It kinda cherry picks facts, distorts them, and puts them in a nice package of propaganda in innuendo.

    1+1=2. 2 ugly people ******* give you Rosie Odonnel. That does not make 1+1=Rosie Odonnel.

      Fish if Obama taxes every business that makes over 250k do you realize those businesses will have 2 choices to make. First they can raise the price of goods and services rendered which in turn is a tax on you and I since we will be purchasing these products. now how in the heck does that give you or I more money to put into the economy? Second they will just lay employees off to off set the extra taxes these businesses will be paying. Also Obama has stated he would go back to the tax plan that Clinton used while President. After researching this my family would be paying 4,000 more dollars/year then I do under the Bush plan! Again less money for me to put into the economy.

      Look at a few qoutes from our founding fathers about faith/religion:

      JOHN ADAMS@JOHN HANCOCK
      We recognize no sovereign but God, and no king but Jesus! April 18,1775

      Charles Carroll signer of the Declaration of Independence
      Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time: they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose marality is so sublime and pure... and undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments.

      Benjamin Franklin
      God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel.

      In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered... do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?

      In Benjamin Franklin's 1749 plan of education for public schools in Pennsylvania, he insisted that school's teach "the excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern."

      Alexander Hamilton

      "For my own part, I sincerelyesteem it {the Constitution} a system without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests."


      I agree that we need more reality based government yet I believe our problems are caused by the lack of faith from our politicians.

                  agree with your points BB, but wanted to point out that Franklin though raised a Presbyterian, he ended up a staunch Deist, having been very disillusioned with organized religion.

                      Maybe. :beer2: I just don't understand why anyone would waste their time voting if they are not gonna vote for 1 of the 2 only possible outcomes? When was the last time a candidate with no party won the election? :beer2:
