The Republican Party turned Americans into enslaved people, took their money, wasted it, kept them poor, intimidated them, and kept them afraid all the time

The taxpayer money was given to save a private business It was the biggest scam against the American people

The most important thing about being a good person to yourself in life because it means the world to me to know how much I really love and support people and people who are genuinely good friends to me is knowing how much love and respect and respect I have with you in life and the 😊

The ongoing banking crisis is far from reaching a resolution Those with more than a decade of experience understand that credit crises do not dissipate within a mere two weeks It's amusing to witness some people believing that everything has already concluded so swiftly We are currently witnessing a credit contraction that will inevitably result in a substantial overall contraction
Comment from : Hank Marks

Where was the money? The crisis in 2008 was planned by elites, beginning from the FED to banking institutions, the FED ignored the derivative and subprime mortgages problem and the bank institutions manipulated their the clients Finally, the government used taxpayer money to bail them out, that was disgusting, very notorious act that made people mad The whole system corrupted

bBank of America/b is the worst bank in the United States They took over so many banks and grew out of control and became too powerful to fast brbrI had a relationship with them for 21 years, I had checking, savings, auto loans, personal loans, several credit cards and two mortgages and during that time they cost Me a fortune in nefarious and ridiculous fees brbrThis past October 5th, 2023, and after 21 years they forced closed my account because I didn’t agree with an erroneous decision about a charge and I refused to deposit any money in the account until they reconsidered their poor decision They chose to closed my account and now I’m in plans to take legal action against thembrbrThe Federal Government iSHOULD HAD/i let Bank of America fail They committed so much fraud and corruption and their CEO should be in jail

Comment from : Uli Hanel

They talk about all these reforms when Obama came in, but Wall Street and the banks are right back where they were spending lavishly on compensation, salaries, parties, private jets while working Americans struggle to eat and pay for gas to drive to work and back, the elite rival the 18th century French aristocracy

Comment from : Greg Swimsalot

This is why the common citizen shouldn't put all of their faith into a specific political party Because, in the end all of the rich people and politicians are making decisions to keep themselves rich and in control and they don't give a damn about you and your 100k a year job

Comment from : Ponzi

Typical communist propaganda from PBS The whole point of this video is to convince the viewer that the free market was to blame when the opposite was true They conveniently leave out the root cause of the problem The GOVERNMENT SPONSORED ENTERPRISES or GSEs who owned the majority of toxic mortgages that went bad Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans STARTED the whole process by giving low or no down payment loans ( something the free market would not do) to people with low or no credit the ability to purchases homes So in fact the GOVERNMENT caused the meltdown and once again blamed it on the free market which was only reacting to government distortions of the market

Comment from : Steven Levernier

Paulson's flex on BoA and Ed Lewis should make it abundantly clear to anyone questioning whether the US govt has the POWER to regulate and curtail the criminal and reckless behavior of Wall St It could IF it wanted to The thing is, it doesn't
Comment from : Tadaia

The aholes of Wall Street
Comment from : Bernard

This doc is kind of strange because there's a much better PBS doc on this topic that tells a much more complete storybrbrFor instance this doc almost paints a picture of BOA being a victim of the govt by having to take over Lynch, but this doc FAILS to talk about how TRADITIONAL BANK, INCLUDING BOA were part of the problem by making SO MANY BAD LOANS!! Because these banks could roll these up into investment instruments, they didn't have the risk of the loans they were makingbrbrI don't really like this doc because telling an almost one sided story of what created the Great Recession gives a wrong impression BOA created part of the problem that the Fed pushed right back at them instead of allowing the economy to fail It was a very good move

nobody know what's coming but its coming clock tik tak
Comment from : Dimo Dimov

One of the greatest thefts ever were those golden parachutes, and that's what I STILL remember to this day, is that people who caused their companies to collapse via taking on too much risk get highly rewarded on their way out the door Meanwhile many middle class people lost everythingbrbrThis was one of the bigger transfers of wealth considering how fast it happenedbrbrAnd yet the middle class STILL hasn't learned their lesson from this and vote for the same politicians that give these people whatever freedoms they want, and the transfer of wealth keeps marching on Once again it's in the housing market and typical citizens are losing their ability to own homes and the large investors are becoming the country's landlord And they're making a KILLING since Covid

I truly believe Bank of America is one of the most, if not THE most, evil companies to ever exist Exxon Mobil is right next to them
Comment from : Ashlyn Zachreson

The disastrous decision to repeal the Glass-Steagall Act in the late 1990s led to the spectacular failure of huge banks during the financial crisis of 2007–2008 To prevent a future catastrophe, Dodd-Frank and this Act both need to be revived right away What happened with SVB is just the start of what will happen if nothing is done to address the current problem
Comment from : Leon Donald

Yup The old ways of putting on the party are over The government is here to protect you You will see how far they are willing to go now to control that aspect of your life very soon

Comment from : Polymath

In hindsight they should have let those banks fail and the markets crash and have gone through the pain of a major depression But nobody wants to have that happen on their watch It is exponentially worse now and we're going to have an exponentially worse crash when it comes The can always gets kicked down the road until it can be no longer
Comment from : Stuart Moore

Paulson stole millions ❤😮❤
Comment from : Don Bush

The ongoing situation with banks is causing me significant apprehension The potential failure of a sizable institution like SVB is alarming, and it raises broader concerns for me A friend of mine, who oversees a rapidly expanding startup, experienced severe repercussions due to the recent bank run Personally, I withdrew over $840k from my bank account, bearing in mind that the FDIC's coverage is limited to $250K The prospect of a collapse has worrisome implicationsbrGiven the circumstances, I'm contemplating investing in the stock market I'm seeking input and suggestions on how I should approach this situation Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Comment from : Antonio Bianh

Predictably, the "government now holds all the cards" turned out to be short lived, as we're gradually rolling back many of the consumer protections and financial regulations we passed after this catastrophe And the people who got screwed the most by it vote for the politicians who are doing their best to make it happen again
Comment from : Declan Conroy

Using tax payer money from the poor to make sure rich people stocks dont go down Talk about a fucking freeroll

Banks are houses of greed propped up by the federal reserve and the full faith and credit of the United States TAXED CITIZENS THIS is exactly what our forefathers fought and warned us about

This was one of the biggest crime sprees in the history of finance, and yet no one went to jail for their sins But the bigger sin is , government was complicit with these robber barons

Comment from : Daral Smalligan

Everyone is blaming the banks, but why is no one blaming the homeowners who bought expensive houses they knowingly couldn’t afford or keep if they lost their jobs They are just as “greedy” and short-sided as the bankers and are entirely complicit
Comment from : Daral Smalligan

Ken Lewis is the only hero in the entire scenario
Comment from : Daral Smalligan

I still get tingles when I think of how our government is so intertwined with what appears to be a capitalist system, but really isn’t
Comment from : Jose Orjuela

51:48 she can't be that stupid so she must be complicit Nothing, not one fucking thing changed The Wall Street Bankers made billions on the run up to the 2008 financial crisis Got bailed out when there was no liquidity left in Markets from them sucking it dry Got bailed out No one paid one dime of their own money, not even in mounting a legal defense of their corruption and greed And they continue today making billions while funding House & Senate campaigns to the max Elizabeth Warren can't be so stupid so she has to be complicit

wikipedia says, The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), commonly known as Fannie Mae, is a United States government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) and, since 1968, a publicly traded company Founded in 1938 during the Great Depression as part of the New Deal,[3] the corporation's purpose is to expand the secondary mortgage market by securitizing mortgage loans in the form of mortgage-backed securities (MBS),[4] allowing lenders to reinvest their assets into more lending and in effect increasing the number of lenders in the mortgage market by reducing the reliance on locally based savings and loan associations (or "thrifts")[5] Its brother organization is the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), better known as Freddie Mac In 2023, Fannie Mae was ranked number 28 on the Fortune 500 rankings of the largest United States corporations by total revenue[6]
