Nice video, but you left a few key details out. Go search Cspan’s website for 183818-1. The democrats being in bed with freddie and fannie, were hell bent against the republicans who warned of impending doom years ago and wanted more regulation.
What did they do when the republicans cried “Fix it before it’s too late!”? They cried racism, gee go figure. So you need to add to your rap.
“Barney frank didn’t want no stinking regulation. Fannie is fine, won’t be no stagnation!”
Holla from the New Haven Texas Exes. McCombs and UT-RTF up in this! Good job, guys. It all makes sense now.
Slick video dude… with this rap and the one about the LHC I have learned more than I do off the news. Thanks!!!
nice ; )
Blessings..
I also learned more here than all the talk shows on the radio and TV. Thanks and cool video.
Very nice video just wish we could rap this problem away lol.
peace to all
bird, hope to see you in the streets rapping–this was quite an impressive piece-you never disappoint–big props to all its creators.
How come that in the first days of the crisis when I tried to explain people what to do to save their economies and savings from the starving banks and the falling dollar, youtube was censoring my comments and messages? People, change your Dollars to Swiss Franks. That will get you through for a while. That is if you don’t get rich because, as far as I see, Swiss Franks and Swiss stocks are going up,up,up!
The SMI is going up right now, yes.
But if the UBS can’t overcome it’s problems…
Well it will fall deep.
I wouldn’t worry if I were you. Both are strong and will float more than the US market or even the EU markets. If I were from US, I’d change my dollars to CHF, then wait for the dollar to fall. Then I would change the CHF to dollars and wait for the dollar to make it’s comeback. People in US should profit from this “Collapse” but, some don’t understand or can’t see how to make money out of nothing
Well done!! That was great:)Encore!
Great vid, someone needs to reference this on all of those “Burning down the house” pages. Open some eyes. Also, if you really want a nice explanation of the whole sub prime mess look for youtube user informedtrades. That’s where I found this vid.
Great song and video, Michael!
