Which party had control and looked the other way during the three period of the excess credit creation the 1920's, the 1980's and the 2000's? During every other period any person alive today the other party had some if not total control and we didn't have these 'problems'. I hate partisan political BS and consider myself a conservative person but the facts speak loud on when financial weapons of mass destruction and extreme periods of lax lending and reckless speculation in the main stream have taken place..

PS. the dotbombs of the late 1990's and gold of the 1970's were isolated manias not due to any widespread lax lending filtering through the real economy..

The fear of actually losing money will go a long way to correct the current situation.

Financiers playing with OPM never have fear of losing money because of following reasons:

1) "hit and run" compensation system ( hedge funds)
2) Greenspan / Helicopter put
3) focus on relative performance
