Quote from bxptone:
Blame them or not, I really don't care, they were in charge, it happend under their watch. And Bush cheering on the housing bubble didn't help, but he had a frivoulous war to pay for so I guess he couldn't help himself.
But the fact remains, we will have many years to go, to clean up the devistation left under their watch. Wether people want to accept that or not. Sorry. You just dont lose TRILLIONS of dollars, values in assets, some assets in fact will disappear into think air when their market to market, and just bottom out. This is going to get so bad.
Those "TRILLIONS" in assets were artificially created by a spending bubble that was fuelled by home equity lines and credit cards. On the corporate side this mess was piled on by massive over-leverage.
This thing HAD to come crashing down regardless of which socialist/quasi-socialist was in office.
