cost increased so much(realestate)and salaries stagnated except for the top 5%. They basically squeezed the wealth from the lower class so much that we are no longer able to support their high salaries. companies fail when their products can't be sold. The top 5% has yet to accept the fact they are over paid and their organizations can no longer support them at those levels. Their answer is to layoff which is only going to worsen the situation. The reason salaries stagnated is because the global economy without proper tariffs has lead to a workforce with little strength to demand higher salaries. I also agree with the previous poster that people bought beyond their means but the regulators allowed it. Sad to see people buying homes that require 60-80% of their income just for the mortgage. Bad decision. Now I'm going to be taxed to save their asses when I kept myself basically debt free. |

A deeper reason is the corrupting influence of greed. What made Congress to eliminate all anti usury laws? What made lenders offer usurious loans? What made Moody rate subprime loans AAA "virtually impossible to lose value"? What made companies borrow 30X or more against those loans?
A deeper reason is because we built two thirds of our economy on debt. We relied on the growth of debt for economic growth. So in order to continue economic growth forever, we had to continue increasing debt forever - which is impossible. We set ourselves up to fail.
The deepest reason of all is because our economics is based on money. No form of currency in existence today adequately fufills the fuctions of money. The very existence of inflation and deflation proves that money cannot act as a long term store of value. After 7000 years of excellent use, the invention of money has now become the root cause of most all of our economic problems - and many of our social problems. Money was invented as a means of dealing with scarcity. But now we can manufacture an abundance of nearly anything we desire. In the absence of scarcity, the use of money causes artificial scarcity. It had a good 7000 year run, but now it is obsolete; an anachronism that causes more problems than it resolves. |

Greed in the upper class. |

FACTS: Upper executives are not solely to blame. If you want to blame someone, blame ourselves for allowing this to happen. Shareholders, most of us are for some investment, have a right to pool together and move a company but we don't. Moreover, the housing problem was caused by the small underwriters down the street, you know who I am speaking of who underwrote the loans. Also blame the realtorts for not telling the buyers to think more conservatively. Finally, blame Freddie and Fannie for allowing the loans to be backed on poor credit. Also blame ourselves since we are responsible for electing the total idiots we have put in washington.
Bottom line, if you are tired of this crap, including stagnant wages, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, ORGANIZE AND CHANGE THE NATION! |

Its a cycle. Grow then recede. That's the way its been, and that's the way it'll be.
As Americans, we borrow too much to buy fluff. Debt laden households filled with junk. The need to have more stuff is the current culprit, but the business cycle won't go away. |

Greed is the simplest and most deep reason for the meltdown. From there is goes to deregulation and also America losing it's ability to compete in high tech / manufacturing jobs |

We've had a false sense of security for a while now. The gas thing was a problem (though there MAY be enough gas if we were allowed to drill). Clinton took restrictions off of SUV's, which at the time stimulated the economy, but as you can see, it is hurting. Not exactly a deeper reason, but one of the underlying reasons.
The other is people were using money that they did not have. Buying on credit, trying to afford homes that they did not have the money for. If you are buying on credit, you are using money that is not yours, that you expect to have later. Once the economy dipped a little, the credit problems compounded upon this and that leads to where we are now since people could no longer afford to make their payments. |
