You want to know how we got into this financial mess? If you don't have the time to view this video (about 5 minutes in length)save it, and watch when you do have the time. This is a must. I am so sick of all this political finger pointing. Also, you hear that this mess was basically caused by the "fat cat" Wall Street execs. Think again. There is no doubt many of them did reap the benefits, but who allowed them? If you really look into this mess, you'll find there were most of the checks and balances already in place. If only our government did their job!!!!!
Please check this out. It's worth the time.
