American Banks give mortgages to people who can't afford to pay them.
They tell other banks that they're owed X amount of money "So, can you loan us some money"
People struggle to pay there mortgages.
Banks struggle to pay each the loans they've lent each other.
Then the banks made a brilliant decision. I'm gonna call in all my debt. I'm gonna have that house back and that house back. Oh my God, I've got no money, just loads of empty houses.
Bank says to other bank "I lent you some money but now I want it back before the end of the week"
But, I can't do that without going bankrupt"
"Really, tough"
Thats basically how it started, but what I find really interesting is the way people take offense because some idiots in there country, who don't care about anything except filling their own pockets, make some stupid mistakes (if you can call gambling with tax payers money 'mistakes').
Nearly every country is ran by people who do not care about the 'hoi polloi' but only care about making money for themselves. We are on the receiving end of lies and scams and political diversions on a daily basis.
Whatever the reason is that you believe, we, the people are not to blame.
(oh God, i've started now)
Rise up, my brothers, rise up
(>>SMACK<<) Just slapped myself. I'm going.
