A song by the Astroturf featuring David Caplan Back in March we didn’t know what was to come the Bear stearns collapse had already come and gone We finally thought that we’d start to gain some ground But subprime losses just kept being written down Over the summer months commodity prices all went up the cost of oil hit 150 bucks and everyone talked about their stagflation fears and just like that it all those worries dissapeeared chorus: We had the lehman bust We lost all our trust In the …

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry but I really enjoy your style and , as a mortgage manager, certainly identify with the year that was…

Together we can over come this economical crisis.
I feel so good when America is doing bad.
I have started recently to boycott American products and telling all my friends and family to boycott American products.
BOYCOTT USA!!!!!
Yes it was the americans that started the subprime crises. But other countries followed blindly and also should have been more cautious.
Capitalism in its purest form and socialism in its purest form are both bound to fail. There is no reason to boycott the US because it created a crisis due to its strict adherence to flawed ideology. American people, while misguided, are still good people.
Thanks for tripling the deficit obama….you jerk.
you are welcome. I inherited a flawed economy and through solid economics practices we are almost out of it.
outstanding song
yes… but the solution for problem that was created from too much private debt is not necessarily to increase public debt. Debt levels in general are too high in relation to any metric like Gdp. Plus there is no good proof we are out of the depression
its a depression not a recession…and yes there is proof that the recession is ending if you look at any leading or coincident indicator…at least the second derivative change is increase and in most cases the first derivatve. as well the stock market has increased substantially
those are not intelligent points…. because everyone knows the stock market is not an indicator of anything except human stupidity….when it was through the roof, our economic structures were disastrous and ready to implode and those structures are still disastrous.
a great tune with great lyrics—an overall great experience and love the discussion—unlike most youtube arguments its civil and smart.
even robert zimmerman would like a tune like this
Great, but your plans are failing and costing us 3 times more than Bush’s crap and even the liberals are projecting that the deficit because of obama’s spending with grow to 10 Trillion ! Easily the worst administration in my lifetime.
he hasnt even been in office one year and those plans have been in effect even less time. I cant understand how an unbiased person could say that he is the worst president with so little to even to judge on. I think you are forgetting the atrocious economy and foreign affair situation that was inherited. ….and that the last president started an unecessary war in Iraq costing us billions of dollars and thousands of good lives.
