Understanding the Financial Crisis and What It Means to You

[thegreeensky]

nice infos.. very educating...

[adelle0001]

nice one! very informative video

[NPcindy]

this is actually inaccurate. Low income housing investments started in 1976, increased by Clinton era, and in 2002 Bush said this was a bad bad idea and the housing bubble would crash, but he was shut out.

… To discover and apply the ONE SOLUTION to ALL Social Evils - an IDEAL, MONEYLESS, CONSUMER-BASED, FULL-EMPLOYMENT ECONOMY that will build Ideal, Private, Civilized, Self-Sufficient, Self-Governing, Oil-Liberated, Populated-Limited Sovereign Cities - study the edifying lessons in the original YouTube videos: "The Revolutionary ConsumerCard Article” and "The Great Pyramid, Why Was It Built, Lesson 1". These lessons can be found nowhere else.

[onstageagain]

We are in trouble... America... We are in TROUBLE... this guy cannot fix it. Do you understand it?

Dem party needs Regan. these clowns are lacking. Less Gov. We need economic grouth. You defeat every person with a D next to there name.. meaning Democrat.

[vanvanbluz]

How about going green to going red.

[miguelbovine10]

dummy!!!!!!!

[seanmPWH]

Bernanke purposely orchestrated this great depression for the purpose of providing a catalyst for prompting people to think that the government / Federal Reserve needs to save us. Notice the call for the "benevolent dictator" at 51:30.....but the answer to wealth consolidation is not power consolidation, it is power dispersal, i.e. secession of the states and dissolving the federal government along with the Federal Reserve.

[numbers3934]

These guys are good politicians. They don't know what they're talking about and they look good talking about it.

NO!!!

we all just agreed and keep agreeing; too much risk was taken, it was advocated, and it was, well, basically all a lie etc etc..... well, thats the free market !

We see its ugly face as soon as we let it of the lease just a little...

Sure you can blaim it on the government (and theyre part of it also) but that doesnt give the free market the face lift it needs...

Hes basically saying to; How could this have happened ?

Well, they let us...

hmmm

[ncroc]

For the rest of the population, they advocate free-market and competition but when it came to them (financial sector, big banks, etc), they advocated bailouts (of lehmann) and guarantees (for goldman sachs, etc). I suggest viewers to read and listen to people like Joseph Stiglitz, Paul Krugman, etc.

[1888junkteam]

excellent work!

[attorneydestroyusa]

fuck this jew along with all attorney,jew and their paid assassin cops. fuck oyu all and fuck anyone who gives these assholes money in taxes or any other way

[Burdell22000]

FYI financial crisis talk begins around min. 26

[24BIT24BIT]

@Burdell22000 thank you, kindly

[motorolav878]

More people should watch this video. It is a pity that individuals would rather watch useless tabloid crap.

[kunsura]

you mean to tell me that banks are scared to lend to other banks?

[glavataaa]

ofcourse...if da fed lends money to other banks , these other banks will lend money to people and dat would increase da amount of money in the system and will cause inflation....to stop inflation da fed icreases interest rates and dat stops other banks from borrowing money and therefore prevents them from lending money to the people-dats how inflation is avoided. Now lets see if dat video is any good ;)

[golfdu222]

hey you are so right. I still think we are in a world of hurt, we will wake up one day

and our dollars are going to be a third of

what they are worth now. called a bank

holiday and gold won't help either.

[golfdu222]

Hey boundtogetdown you took the words

right out of my mouth!!!!! I should have

highlighted the or not. And yes the hard life is on the way.

[golfdu222]

One world econemy is on the way

whether you like it or not. Look at

the bigger picture it might be a better

place, or not!!!

[boundtogetdown]

are you kidding me we get most of our oil from saudi arabia

whens the last time you picked up a fun little toy or tried on a shirt that said "MADE IN USA" never!!!

WE ALREADY HAVE A ONE WORLD ECONOMY AND AMERICANS TAKE IT FOR GRANTED GET READY FOR THE HARD LIFE!!!

[golfdu222]

What put America into crisis is america

always has a crisis. America spends

all their wealth on weapons and the

military. You may be broke and starving

but at least you are safe!

[glavataaa]

golfdu222 u are right to some extend. Think who benefits from a war....the banks do, beacause the banks are the ones lending money for dat war to happen and they r da once charging interest on dat money made out of thin air. remember da fed is privately owned company dat can issue as much money as it want

[Tutilost]

glav, you sound like a conspiracy theorist. But the unfortunate economic reality of war is this:war increases production in most commodities since the demand becomes greater. With increased production comes more jobs to meet the demand. With more jobs, the tax base increases, needed to support the economy. Unfortunately, war is sometimes necessary. When it is, get ready to work overtime. Spend some of that money to support your country.

[kenfla2]

Man, people talk to much and say nothing. Here is an idea, pay your bills and buy domestic. We let this happen, make no misstake about it. And now we have a man in office that throughing this country deeper into debt by wicked amount of dollars. You can't get out of a hole by digging out the bottom. So what are we going to do to fix this? We've been listing to these so called standford think tanks and thing just keep getting worse. Did anybody really listen to two hours of this video???

[man20121251username3]

really,what means economic crisis?

[BoomerNavy70]

Something else to keep in mind...it was these god damn MBA's that put us into this mess.

[moniequa]

The truth is no one knows what is happening. MBAs know even less but really know how to talk intelligently but produce a big pile of shit.

[BoomerNavy70]

How can people that have only high school diplomas be so much smarter than some college professors.

I think we have it all wrong. Street Smarts are a lot more practical than College Smarts with the exception of brain surgery which would require at least a correspondence course, and maybe a certificate of credibility from a Mexican University.

Have you ever noticed how all these so called EXPERTS come out of the woodwork after the crap hits the fan...lol.

Where were you before?

[BoomerNavy70]

Whoever thought that the United States government would be involved in a Ponzi scheme...LOL.

Back in 1999 the Republican Congress and the Senate were bought off by the bank lobbyist and credit card companies by repealing the Glass-Steagall act of 1933 which was there to control the banking and financial services industry.

Bill Clinton was just as guilty for signing the bill

Reagan also took away your right to deduct your interest rates.

This isn't rocket science.

To get a recovery, wipe out the $1.5 quadrillion of financial derivatives like those of AIG, which have already cost US taxpayers $190 billion on the way to at least $400 billion. Outlaw the hedge fund hyenas that bid up the price of gas in 2008. Re-regulate financial and commodity markets, and bring back the uptick rule and the ban on naked shorts at the SEC.

[louis12346]

Want to stop foreclosures? pass a law making foreclosure on any primary residence, family farm, or business a federal crime for the duration of the depression, Put a family out on the street, shut down a farm,close a factory, and the banker goes to Leavenworth.Start with the great foreclosers — Dimon of JP Morgan, Pandit the Bandit of Citibank, Lewis of Bank of America, Blankfein of Goldman Sachs, and the other zombie bankers.Dont let them destroy Detroit, Stockton, or any other American city

[mowryric]

Want to improve your own economic situation.

A way out of this for you?

Stop by my page , watch the videos, see how you do not have to be part of this .

[Johnhighfive]

One thing that is missing on this video is the lack of control on Corp worldwide;today SEC has held charges against STANFORD BANK; so again another ponzi scheme; fictitious earnings, financial misrepresentation:

THE PROBLEM: greedy beyond comprehension created a false economy hence destructing real values. In addition to the boost of a disproportionated consumption based on a false unlimited markets demand: behind its "Sinergy and Globalization play words" THAT IS WHAT ´S GOING ON OVER HERE.

[nutshell1994]

Self-loving "experts." Not teaching anything but the same regurgitated garbage. To know the true economic well-being, study history. Start with the founding father's letters during the making of the constitution. They understood the crippling power of nationalized banks. Why was there a mass-exodus from Europe? What was the main form of opression? Unable to own your own land. Heavy taxasion. Familiar? Property tax? Estate tax? -This takes away our right to keep our property.

Dye tyme, social welfare stems from

advances in medicine, ethics, scientific innovation

Wall street is nothing but a balance sheet,

Corporate Welfare is the manipulation of that sheet

[DyeTyme]

Social welfare stems from government wanting more tax payer dollars. To "spread the wealth", they increase the size of government departments or create new ones to manage the spreading of wealth. It is one of the reasons why Washington DC has prospered. The average federal government employee gets paid $60,000per year. They even have unions in the government that ensure the departments won't reduce its size.

I oppose Corporate Welfare as much as I oppose Social Welfare.

[Paranormal999]

This video is so uninformative given by those who teach and work in the very problem the world faces, short term selling should be banned outright it creates a place for fraud by some traders wanting to manipulate the market.

The reason for the crisis is simple and does not need to much debate, its was created by corruption and lack of control, this we can trace back to the late 70's and early 80's when deregulation started only made worse in the 90's.

[prep4md]

The introduction is 35 minutes. Skip it.

[azkeyz]

This video does not help me understand the financial chrisis what so ever - my understanding of the financial chrisis is that america are greedy satan worshiping dirt bags who never read their bible about the subject of poverty and love their satanic illuminati cult and symbolisms.

Untill that changes america hasn't got a prayer.

thanks for 37th minute tip

[SlyJunt]

Thanks for the 37 min tip

[Juanitopue]

thanks for the tip of the 37 min!

[minion00069]

federal reserve is not a GOVERNMENT agency!!!!if i am wrong prove it!!!!

[incrowdcynic]

tsch! and they think privatizing health care was a bad idea. Our country's wealth is privately held.

[minion00069]

the world is falling apart but let us make jokes. that will help. what risk of lending to banks? the government will bail u out and put it on the backs of the middle-class and the poor!!!!corp.capitalism at it's best...go fuck urselves.say NO to corp.welfare.

[DyeTyme]

corporate welfare is the same as social welfare

Say NO to social welfare if you say NO to corporate welfare.

[lygophile]

DyeTyme is the same as retardedness

Say NO to retardedness if you say NO to DyeTyme.

[DyeTyme]

Welfare is welfare.

Welfare - using tax dollars to create a system of dependence upon the government.

The US is dying because of this welfare system, people have no reason to work when they can sit around collecting unemployment benefits that equal working at the minimum wage.

So good job lygophile, you are retarded.

[lygophile]

oh yeah, it's the unemployment benifits that makes all low-end jobs be emigrated to high-density developing countries so there no low-end jobs left in the 'western world' of course :/

it's because of a welfare state - which is minimal compared to any other industrialised country, none of which spawned this crisis - that made all corperations overspend, the feds overprint and the state over-borrow

all of america's wealth is owned by China, and few other countries, by debt

something gives

[wolverineeeeeeeee]

we have sort of a system like that here to and still we all want to work for its not all for the money you know. Its also for meeting people and being a part of the environment.

Its not like communism wich was forced onto people and no change of getting more out of live.

[KoolMoDeee]

If you are looking for what is in the title skip to the 37th minute

Thanks
