Most of you guys don't understand the seriousness of this past financial/economic crisis. If President Bush and President Obama had not taken the actions they did to bail out financial institutions and stimulate the economy, (eg deficit spend), not only would much wealth have been lost in stocks and bonds held by public and private investment companies on behalf of both individuals and government, all the cash in banks accounts across the country could have been wiped out as bank fell like rows of dominoes coming down in a chain reaction. FDIC insurance would have been complete overwhelmed and quickly exhausted. Unemployment would be much worse as the Auto industry went out of business, etc.
People don't seem to realize that we are all in this together, not only in the USA, but everybody world wide is connected and effected; because, the economy is global.
