That is where you are wrong ... the mess we are in today was not the fault of capitalism, but rather bad liberal legislation that is tied to their erroneous socialist thinking.

The banking problem started under Carter with the Community Reinvestment Act that lowered the requirements for government backed loans. It worked so well (ha ha) that under Clinton he lowered the standards even more and fined banks that were not issuing enough loans (that was Obama's job at the law firm he worked at to sue banks that did not give enough of the sub prime loans).

As the Bush administration saw what was going on and the warning signs at Fannie and Friddie, they tried to fix it and the democratic congress blocked the efforts and denied there was a problem.

Funny how Raines that ran Fannie Mae walked with $90 million in bonuses, was an advisor to Obama yet no one is screaming for him to return the money as the government has had to spend $300 billion in bailout of fannie Mae and Freddie mac.

Now how was that capitalism fault. I can assure you that the banks did not want to make these loans.

When I got my first mortgage it was not very easy and needed a real down payment and good credit and a good paying job. Somehow the government thought it was a great idea to give loans to people that could not pay.
