We went through this once. It got Obama elected back in 2008.
And I suspect it was a manufactured crisis. Real, but created by the democrats, precisely to get power.
Fanny Mae Freddy Mac, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, Make banks fragile with bad loans, concentrating them in falsely positive overrated securities, and then with Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house, timed with the approaching election all new energy production is essentially stopped by congress with banning of off shore drilling, spiking gasoline prices; families forced to choose between paying for food and gas or their toxic variable interest loans, default the loans, triggering the real estate collapse.,,,
All creates the perfect crisis to introduce communism to the American public in a smooth talking polished package... hello President Obama.
