@doughtymqan When they repealed the glass steagal act back in 1999, thats the closest you will ever be to an unregulated financial industry. That's what caused all the banks to be able to gamble like they did and cause the financial collapse. The only people that got rich are the one that saw the economy crumbling.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac didn't threaten to bring back the world economy... It was banks that were way to leveraged. In no world a company leveraged 50:1 is safe. If banks stay unregulated they will stay leveraged like this until theres another bump in the market again. Look at the countries that did fine in this crisis. Their banks were all perfectly regulated by their government.
All started with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which are GSE's ( Government Sponsored Enterprises), aiming for the sub prime market. The goverment backed loans created unfair competition and the private banks had dance to the music. You see the government interfered with the market, encouraged greed and created weak securities. Why?
Lets see... The banks that threaten to bring down the entire world economy because of the selfish interests of their CEOs... and needed the big bad government to come get them out of their own filth... This would have never happened if the glass-steagall act was still around...
Which one? The one that had the sub prime mortgages promoted and guaranteed by the government of the USA? That financial industry along with 2 major car companies are now in big part owned and controlled by the government. Coincidence?
Interesting that the last comment was 3 weeks ago and the comment before that was 1 year ago.
It is a shame that more people are not interested in this kind of information.
Rate up if more people should learn this information.

Think about it. Research GSE's and post back.
