i agree. i think there were too many signs and top economist warning the government of a comming monetary "perfect storm" and the government did nothing . the government loves these crises all it does is give them more power and money i.e stiumulus bills filled with nothin but pork and money for the politicians pet projects. they engineer and alow things like this to happen so the people will beg for their help at any cost
