It happened in 1983, under Ronald Reagan. The result: the Savings and Loan Debacle, the same debcale that George Bush's brother walked away with $100,000,000.00 while the institution went belly-up. History is really quite a valuable tool, that is if people decided to retain information the the not so distant past. The unsuspecting investors who put their bet on shady or unclear investments wouldn't be upset if those investments had yielded them the big bucks, regardless if people lost their homes. Sounds like a gamble to me and the only person left holding the bag is the poor sucker who thought that he had a chance at being a contender - read homeowner.

Check out Money as debt to learn why.

Dumb Danny who doesn't hold a degree in economics includes Hillary's name in a headline and then leaves Hillary out of his pasting. Paul Krugman does have a degree in economics. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/28/opinion/28krugman.html?ref=opinion All in all, the candidates’ positions on the mortgage crisis tell the same tale as their positions on health care: a tale that is seriously at odds with the way they’re often portrayed. Mr. McCain, we’re told, is a straight-talking maverick. But on domestic policy, he offers neither straight talk nor originality; instead, he panders shamelessly to right-wing ideologues. Mrs. Clinton, we’re assured by sources right and left, tortures puppies and eats babies. But her policy proposals continue to be surprisingly bold and progressive. Finally, Mr. Obama is widely portrayed, not least by himself, as a transformational figure who will usher in a new era. But his actual policy proposals, though liberal, tend to be cautious and relatively orthodox. Maybe the "News" dissector should admit how biased he is and stick to subjects he knows. Having viewed In Debt We Trust, economics isn't anything Dumb Danny knows. Oh look Dumb Danny pimps for Barack again.
