Thread: Is the American culture of buy buy buy what messed up the economy?

now im no leftist and the q might po some contacts but was it uncontrolled spending by people that should not have been spending money is when this mess begin

We have been a buy bty buy culture for decades, so it does not explain why the economy is messed up now when it was doing fine 10 years ago.

No it was a culture of greed. Greed from absolutly everyone!!!!!!!

Greed from home owners who wanted an expensive house but didn't have the money to pay for it.

Greed from a president who wanted oil so badly he had to start a trillion dollar war for it!

Greed from the banks that gave them the idea they could afford a house that expensive.

Greed from the oil companies for rasing prices so damn high!

Greed from companies who gave their ceo's billions on the banks of the american people.

And finally greed from you and me.

We went out and bought things we couldn't afford and paid with money that didn't exist. This is the problem with america!!!! Greed

In one word, "Absolutely without a shadow of a doubt!"
