First off, and this is weird coming from me, but this entry might offend. If it does....just undertand that this is a big issue to me. I don't expect everyone to agree or see eye to eye. I do require people to use brains though... =( Please read and please feel free to comment. ~_

The economic situation has a wide range of factors, but largely due to irresponsible loans. Whether you fault the lender or the borrower... borrower defaults, loaner loses money. Frankly, you can point at McBama for that problem.

Actually...it has been linked back to when the Savings & Loans and the banks were deregulated. Something that McCain admited he had been apart of.

It caused things to happen that shouldn't of. Like Enron and how they ran the electricty billing. As well as the "trying to make money from money" approach that had banks passing bank notes from one bank to another without any real clartical(sp?).....again, another idea that came from the group that McCain had been apart of back in the day..... =(

Not saying that he alone is responsible though, just the group and the guy who was head of that group. I'll have to find the article that was written and post a link to it here. ^_^

But I don’t know of one single person who has not been, or knows of someone who has been, affected in some form or fashion with what has happened here with recent events.

I would add frightened to that list as well.

It has been forever and a day since you've posted. Good to see you're still alive. :)

Thanks Ashley! ^_^ :hug: Yep, I'm alive! ~_^
And that's a good point....Frightened should be added to that list. It's nice to see that gas prices are down. But other things aren't going back down yet, and that is still trouble-some!
