Why the Economic Turndown?

A common sense explanation of why the economy has slowed down.

How did we get into the economic crisis? If you ask me it is really pretty simple…

  1. People got loans for things they could not afford…
  2. People got more loans for more things they could not afford, and the government helped them do it…
  3. Gas prices began to rise, budgets began to tighten…
  4. Prices on everything began to go up to compensate for the high gas prices…
  5. Companies begin to lay off people to compensate for high gas prices and slower business…
  6. People can no longer pay their mortgages that they couldn’t afford in the first place…

And they wonder why we are in an economic slump?
