Frontline: Inside the Meltdown

[ycartrob]

here's a great overview of how the economic crisis unfolded. Seems pretty "matter of fact", but I'm sure there's some political leanings here and there. You can watch the entire Frontline video, too.

Political leanings - as this is a PBS show, the lean will no doubt be all the way over to absolute communism, if you are republican (or mmjfanatic). Looking forward to selecting 'Keep until I delete' for this one on the dvr.

Thanks for posting that?  I just got done watching and it was very insightful.

I want to know how you feel about Freddy Mack and Fannie May.  I mean how much do you think Clinton contributed to this.

from wikipedia......

In 1999, Fannie Mae came under pressure from the Clinton administration[9] to expand mortgage loans to low and moderate income borrowers. At the same time, institutions in the primary mortgage market pressed Fannie Mae to ease credit requirements on the mortgages it was willing to purchase, enabling them to make loans to subprime borrowers at interest rates higher than conventional loans. Shareholders also pressured Fannie Mae to maintain its record profits
