    Ian,

    Thanks for this.

    Curious though - if the Clinton administration didn't reduce the restrictions, would be still be having the problems we are having today?

    In reality, the bill would have been passed eventually. It had a lot of bi-partisan support.

    If it didn't pass, there's a good chance we would have had a much smaller problem. The securities process caused the mortgage problems spread to the entire system. Additionally, without the securities most banks wouldn't have taken on so many riskyloans.

    I was looking for a timeline comparison between "the great depression" and the current economic crisis. Your page came up as a possibility (on google). I love the title of your blog. You are witty guy, so I decided to check it out.

    This nice short bullet item type explanation of our current situation is fantastic. Also, the title of your blog is fantastic.

    I think you are the person to make the timeline comparison between "the great depression" and the current economic crisis. I'm hoping it will have a sort of "U" shape, with the upward trajectory representing our imagined climb out of the ditch. Please get on this. I'm counting on you.

    The name of your blog is tres amusing.

    Perhaps the only bright spot is the week-to-week increase in film ticket revenue, mirroring American behavior in the Depression: apparently, we’re still lured to forget our troubles watching the flickering light in the darkened hall (making escapist crap like Paul Blart: Mall Cop, He’s Just Not That Into You,

    The financial/banking system relies on credit creation as a result of debtors spending the money which in turn is 'banked' and loaned to other debtors. As a result a relative small contraction in lending can lead to a dramatic contraction in money supply. The Great Depression occurred after a dramatic expansion in debt and money supply in the roaring twenties.
  • Unsecured personal loans · 7 months ago
    Thanks for the information. Keep up the good work. In relation to public awareness, the demand for unsecured personal loans is at an all time high. Unsecured personal loans are loans made without the backing of collateral. Your average bank won't make them, definitely not during times like these. There are other options, though, for those who don't want to go to a normal lending institution where they know they'll be turned down. You can get unsecured personal loans through payday loan companies. If you just need a cash advance loan, you can apply for an unsecured personal loan. The best ways to survive in this time of recession it to minimize unwanted expenses, and try to budget your income so you wouldn’t depend more to many kinds of loans and payday cashes not unless you really need it.
