Simply put, the volume and size of transactions have have significantly reduced over the past 18 months. The housing market was the largest economic sector in the U.S. which created the cash flow. Investors are now "holding" their money in hopes prices will fall. Land values are diminishing as well as the price of homes. The issue is many people do not like selling at a loss, and they are resistant to do so.

The subprime market is largely to blame for the current situation because it allowed people to "buy" homes well outside their means. Many of these loans had huge balloon payments that could not be met. Hence, we have a huge amount of bad debt on the books. Foreclosures are adding to the volume of homes on the market, so there is no need for any current construction. This will be the situation for the next year to 18 months before the backlog of homes has subsided. The supply has grossly exceeded the demand.

because of GREED

the banks would lend money to a hobo and get the shopping trolley as collateral

because they are greedy and would lend, lend to people who have no hope of ever paying the money back

Look at the CEO of these big companies they get paid mega millions then walk away and everyone else has to pay

As to the stock market, having a bear market of a recession is not all that unusual.

The banking and finance problem was greed and the Republican deregulation of the banking system. This allowed other types of institutions act like banks and they failed to be prudent in their investments. There has been plenty of fraud too.

And even when problems were foreseen the Republicans blocked any attempts to correct the problems. As recent as only a couple weeks ago they were still claiming that the financial industry should be free to "self regulate" as we near a collapse of our banking system.

The stock market crash of 1929 may have been the trigger but it recovered right after. What caused The Great Depression was a failure of the banking system. We are still at great risk at this time. But I believe calamity will be avoided.

I think we still have a recession coming. Although we are close enough with so small a GDP growth that is almost becoming little more than a technical difference if we are "officially" in one or not.

It so very easy to show that every bit of our current financial mess can be laid solely at the feet of the Democrats.

It began with the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) in the Carter Administration, and was made worse by the Clinton Administration.

This was first warned about in an article in City Magazine (be sure and NOTE THE DATE): http://www.city-journal.org/html/10_1_the_trillion_dollar.html

The more recent article was in Investors Business Daily, a noted financial journal, and it lays out how the provisions of the CRA required lending institutions to make risky sub-prime loans: http://ibdeditorial.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=306370789279709

This was entirely the governments doing and it was initiated by the CRA, a product of the Democratic Carter and Clinton Administrations.

David Walker, former Comptroller General of the US, who resigned his post because the politicians in Washington would not heed his warnings, noted yesterday that every household in the USA now owes $455,000 in unfunded liabilities.

The effect of that will appear to us to be rising prices, BUT, what will really be happening is that each dollar will be worth less so it will take more of them just to meet our everyday needs.

So there we have it. The folly of ever more deficit spending and ever more government programs has come home to roost, AND get this, Obama, who is denying the Democrats had any part in all this is proposing more of it: http://coldfury.com/?p=10866

David Walker now works at the Peterson Foundation. Have a look at their web site. I think you will find it interesting: http://www.pgpf.org/
