Well, it seemed like many on Wall Street, and the folks who watch the economy didn’t pick up on it either. How else did all these problems seem to show up, all at the same time, in early 2008, and many folks who are PAID to watch the stock market and the financial institutions seem to get caught flat footed?

RE “and many folks who are PAID to watch the stock market and the financial institutions seem to get caught flat footed?”

You bring a very good point. I am glad you did. It's at the key to my recent wakeup. Neither party warned us. The stock brokers who needed the investments to go up warned us. To warn us of a collapse of a equity bubble is to risk popping the bubble and few want to do that (unless you are minority party just before an election) because it's a big party and the crash is the hangover.

But one man did warn us in 2006 and he was laughed at by all above and now he rips both parties and earned it. Enjoy your awakening:

My guess is that everybody started with the premise that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac knew what they were doing.
