It didn't begin two years ago like most people think, it began more than 15 years ago, and shoul never have ever happened. Back in 1993 The US economy was realing it's way out of a recesssion and the administration at the time was reaching for a way to turn it around. American banks were strong at the time and were getting new business from overseas investors (particuarly Japan). Congress pushed banks to approve loans based on credit instead of capital, citeing that it was discrimination to disaprove houseing loans based on salary (Capitalism). because of this move more people (without money) were buying houses, more houses were being built, and property values soared. By the time bank realized that they wern'y going to get enough $ to pay pay off these mortgages it was too late and intitutions started failing one at a time. &lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Meeting?

Think about it who would you rater have operating on you if you needed crucial surgery. Someone who has been in practice for 26 years like John Mccain or someone who has been in practice for 4 years Like Obama. You can apply that theory to anything and 99.9% of people today want someone with experience. Rookie auto mechanics, quarterbacks, aircraft pilots, doctors, dentists, firemen, etc.. Grated do people made mistakes and wrong decisions during their careers, of course. Thats a part of experience after all a Baseball pitchers era is at 0 until he throws his first pitch, does this mean that he is a better pitcher than a 10 year veteren with a 2.7 era. I'm voteing for experience, and their is no other choice, I'm voteing for mccain&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Think about it&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Meeting?
