      I don’t think he’s gonna have much luck - Bob Casey comes from as close to political royalty as we have in PA - he’s held the seat for the past 18 years. But nonetheless he’s taking a shot at it.

I mean, a lot of people didn't forget but they almost destroyed western civilization and still got their fucking *bonuses*. If you really follow history from 2008 to today, the rise of Donald Trump makes perfect sense. The ripples of 2008 are still being felt today. People's trust in the establishment has been eroded to nothing. I think 2008 was up there with Pearl Harbor and 9/11 personally, it just wasn't portrayed as such in popular culture and economics isn't sexy so not many care anymore or don't remember it for what it was.

    I think people didn't know it was THAT BAD until it was too late. My house was valued at mid $400k in 2003. My husband and I purchased it for $530k in 2004. Its value went up nearly $700k in 2007. Even in 2007, many people thought that the housing crisis would not affect California much. They thought the price would stop going up in the worst case. In 2008, my house was valued at mid $300k. Now, the same house is worth over $1 million.

      You should took out loan, don't pay for it, and allow the bank to have a million dollar property or better yet take out loans on low interests and put it into ETF with good dividend rates and invested in valuable companies that in 2 to 4 years will skyrocket. Then you pocket the difference from sale after the bank take their loan plus interests you'd be 2x richer with a wife and a high-end escorts as your side chick.

    People who started this debacle and gained financially are the same people who had to come in and fix it.
    This has been going on for years with the corruption, greed, and arrogance of the government and financial institutions.

Immoral certainly, but nothing illegal. We were under enormous pressure and there were plenty of people prepared to do the job if you were not. I was in precious metals so had nothing to do with this but the fault lies with the lack of regulations.

    My retirement accounts were down over 45% at the end of 2008. It was NOT a LOSS, because I did not sell. It was a decrease in value of what I owned. I did nothing- I did not panic. These were my retirement accounts and I had 20 more years before I would need them. My accounts were back above their 2007 value in 1 1/2 years!! Today my retirement accounts have increased 7 fold since then (including contributions made since then). HAVE A PLAN.

These leverages are in no way different from the people buying multiple properties with multiple mortgages hoping for a boom in real estates prices, except that the financial guys bailed out with a lot of money.
