It was a consequence of a lot of people biting off much more home than they could afford or need. The same is true of car loans today. i thought it was more that banks were tricking people into taking on mortgages they couldnt really afford, and then started playing hot potato with the mortgages and bankers tried to get their paydays before the whole thing fell apart when people started defaulting and values dropped --- A Green Butter Alt http://i.imgur.com/LhwwG.gif <cite>Romulox28 posted [p:888790481] in America is...

It would flatline our healthcare system even worse than what's happening to the NHS in the UK. fat people cost less than healthy people ffs --- <cite>Garioshi posted [p:888790960] in America is...

But it was still primarily a result of loose lending requirements and people buying more home than they could afford. It's like what is happening in Canada. People saw the value of homes skyrocketing so everyone wanted to buy a home because they thought they could flip it in a couple years and make a few hundred thousand. People were very irresponsible. <cite>FLUFFYGERM posted [p:888792383] in America is...
