    all the more reason the gov't needs to but out

    again it was the US gov't backing the high risk loans.

    hear that? that's another few billion printed with no backing.

    yes they will actually just print more money (like seriously). the banks are full of money right now as an attempt to stimulate the economy, but loans arent being given out because everyone's in the tank and they're afraid it wont be returned.

    look i've taken a shit ton of advanced economic classes, but i don't feel like going into so much depth here. . . simply, the crisis started with the fed allowing housing loans to be essentially less restricted. that led to people pretty much allowing themselves to be screwed, which happened. . . now as for the "bullshit loans" whatever that means exactly, a simple economic lesson is when your in an economic climb you tax and save. in a recession you spend. . . . problem is, in a good economy politicians don't get elected by saying they are going to increase taxes. so cut and dry, we spend more than we bring in. not good i know.

    no, because we still are. If America was to fail, the rest of the world would too, starting with China.

    can you play the banjo?
    are you a hillbilly?

    i don't know any actual inbred people, though i know people with such a strong accent that you wouldn't be able to understand what they are saying.

    damnit, yes i can play the banjo along with a few other instruments

    no im not a hillbilly. though im from a very rural area where farming is big. but i have all my teeth, don't own a moonshine still or anything like that.

    no. i myself don't live on a farm. tell the truth i haven't driven my tractor in years and have never done much actual farming. . . if your asking in general what constitutes a hillbilly im not really sure how to answer that. calling somebody a hillbilly in general is demeaning, but i guess you can base your stereotype off the Beverly Hillbillies if you want, cause they are/were.
