Everything the US and the Americans have bought the last 50 years or so, like houses, big cars, televisions and arms for silly wars, everything has been bought on credit.
It's payback time, guys! |

It's the avalanche effect.
A few years ago, banks could make huge profits by lending on slightly dodgy mortgages, packaging their mortgage books up into securities, selling them to hedge funds and using the proceeds to borrow some more. This gave increasing gearing (leverage in the US) since the banks kept the liability if the mortgages defaulted.
In their rush to lend more and more money, they offered large commissions to mortgage arrangers - reducing the quality of the mortgages.
Then America ran up a huge budget deficit. 2 wars and no new taxes. That meant that the wars are being run on credit. The Fed sucked up all the money in the money markets and suddenly the whole dodgy mortgage deal started to unravel. Someone's got to lend the money - why put your savings in mortgage banks when you can lend to the Fed.
Banks pay huge bonuses to their top staff. They seem to get these whether the bank does well or badly. So banks were making big losses on their mortgage books and having to pay out massive bonuses. Some of them ran out of spondoolicks. |

my answer is that the salesmen who became CEOs began to believe their own blather.
the economy runs in cycles. there is no such thing as business that stays good forever. and prices don't keep going up forever.
duh. |

Because their staff bet on the wrong things to give them their big bonuses, like property prices and sub prime mortgage |

Yeah, agree. They gave loans to everyone going, some borrowing 8 times salary income, they know damn well that people would struggle, and low and behold people can't repay so the banks have little income coming back in to repay their own debts to other financial institutions who lent it to them in the first place.
As the bank suffers, the other banks who lend to them will only do so at a higher rate of interest (if at all) which the troubled bank simply cannot afford, and so on .... until it goes bust, or bought out by a larger secure bank. |

Real Estate is the big cause. Banks loaned money to buyers who don't qualify. There is a income ratio formula used to qualify buyers. The insurance companies buy the mortgage notes as a safe investment with a steady return but the bad loans they bought are now failing. Get jobs and real estate going and the economy will turn around. |
