Look at the highlands of Scotland, the different clans and the clan wars they had. Here in our own country, the Hatfield–McCoy feud is one that comes to mind.

Religion has a reach on everything in the middle east, the taleban tribes are a perfect example.

The banks are to blame for the housing crash, they were giving loans to people who would never be able to pay them back, for homes they could not afford in the first place.

Clinton's "national ownership strategy" made it possible to those who couldn't get a down payment or even meet monthly payments at rates of the time, access to sub-prime loans by way of implementing lower federal guidelines of elligibility and various incentives. Failiure to comply with said guidelines would mean heavy fines.

I think you missed completely what I was saying. There were tribal wars in the middle east, LONG before religion had any part of their beliefs.

Don't blame religion on their cultural inability to get along. They were fighting amongst themselves long before Islam came around in 610AD.

As for you comment about Clinton, I could care less. He may have made it easier for people to get loans. But the banks are to blame. Remember that people were buying homes that were way out of their price range. Just because the bank says you get a $250,000 home, does not mean you can get one.

Let us do some math.

$2,500 take home pay.
$1,000 rent
$250 car loan
$200 student loan
$100 cell phone

That leaves you about $950 for everything else. Food, entertainment, gas money, truck mods, gym membership, etc...

You went to the bank, they told you they can give you $250,000. You find the house and get it. Your monthly payment turns out to be about $1,500 a month. With the escrow on the loan for your house insurance and taxes, it comes out to about $1,900 a month.

So change rent from $1,000 to $1,900 in our list above. How much do you have left over at the end of the month?

I'm just tired of hearing Obama sucks because (insert reason), the Republicans suck (insert reason), the democrats suck (insert reason). Get out and vote America. Stop whining and start acting! We control our government, and the should be mindful of We the People of the United States of America," not the other way around.

"We The People" need to vote those SOBs out of office!

You're partially right, but not quite there yet. You forget about the proof of income situation and the fact that most people took out a second loan on their homes that they couldn't possibly pay. In the past is was nothing to go online and print off false proof of income from someone elses financial records. That all changed after 9/11 with idenity theft started to be the topic of the day. For a solid 6 months after those attacks, all we heard was indenity theft and the 9/11 attacks. Then Iraq came into play and we heard nothing about Afganistan.

It wasn't a comment, his administration changed the rules, and banks were forced to follow new guidelines.

Your current personal opinion means nothing when the facts are in the books.

knightmare1015 · #**179** 04-10-2011, 03:52 PM

Clinton did make a few mistakes yes. But when he left we had Jobs, and a surplus of everything in sight. Also under his last term we paid the lowest amount on a gallon of gasoline in decades, and we were in the black as far as the budget went. But we also had the largest tax hike in U.S. History, Nafta put the final nail in the coffen concerning the textiles industries. Alot of those factories went belly up, because Clinton signing the Nafta agreement made it easier for jobs to go overseas to other countries.

----------

In retro spec, Clinton has done a 10 times better job than Obama could ever do, and all Geogre W. Bush had on his mind was war in Iraq. They already uncovered enough false reports and documents to prove that, but he still done a better job than Obama. What we really need is Reaganomics, and to cut down on this massive spending of money we don't have. We go from 13 trillion in debt to over 17 trillion in debt in less than 6 months. So what does that tell you? It tells me that the U.S Gov. doesn't know it's ass from a hole in the ground.

FordDude1991 · #**180** 04-10-2011, 04:25 PM

remember we also had an all Republican Congress and Mr. Clinton was forced to move to the center...
