In 1933, after the stock market crash of 1929, congress passed the Glass-Stegal act which split up the banks. It separated the commercial banks and the investment banks. The commercial banks that you and I deposit our money in, could not use that money to speculate and also the FDIC was created (deposit insurance) which required the commercial banks to maintain a healthy percentage of their deposits in reserve.<br /><br />So in 1999, 33 years later, Citibank convinved Bill Clinton (Democrat) and several republicans in congress to repeal Glass-Stegal. That was done but Bill Clinton said "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours." In trade, he wanted the banks to give loans basically to people who would not have been able to qualify. That was done too. So, the banks were forced to give these loans and the loans were backed by the government (Fanny and Freddy) and it took 10 years for the defaults and credit swaps to cave in and collapse.<br /><br />Don't take my word on any of this. Look it up for yourself.<br /><br />So you see, it is government interference in private affairs that led to this and it is that that will always lead to this. Left to their own devices would any bank (or would you) loan money to someone who could not pay it back?<br /><br />The proper role of goverment is to protect individual rights but now people interpret that to mean that they want government to be used to violate one groups rights in order to benefit another.<br /><br />It's not a left vs right thing. It should be a question of what we think the proper role and limits of government are.<br /><br />jhAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983178384029229442.post-14043021622680637602010-09-14T15:01:56.348-04:002010-09-14T15:01:56.348-04:00I've long since lost faith that we are going a...I've long since lost faith that we are going anyplace but down.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983178384029229442.post-43805268727432150122010-08-22T07:19:50.695-04:002010-08-22T07:19:50.695-04:00Caesarea Maritima, City of Herod <-- Youtube th...Caesarea Maritima, City of Herod <-- Youtube that if you can't figure out how to click the video from above commentPGFracing.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421798302968218849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983178384029229442.post-49304499727025488622010-08-22T07:18:47.405-04:002010-08-22T07:18:47.405-04:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VBAsmvpdRI Histori...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VBAsmvpdRI Historical evidence of the Word of God.PGFracing.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08421798302968218849noreply@blogger.com
