Did Anyone See This Coming?
Did anyone see the sub prime meltdown coming?,did anyone see the housing market crash coming?,did anyone see our top financial institutes go belly up coming? and did anyone see this coming when Wall Street crashed into a brick wall?
I find it hard to believe we let this happen. Someone should have saw this brewing from the start. Why did we let this happen?
Have we become a nation of blind ignorant fools that we let a problem go from being a small flame to a burning wildfire?
I would like to get everyone's thoughts on this.
