What was the cause again? Somebody in the US giving losts of people mortgages then finding out they couldnt pay them? Northern Rock? - thats only £2K per head of the UK population.

Don't start on the U.S. Zuek. It's because of depessed E34 prices in the U.K.

The credit meltdown began a long time ago.

Ah, knew that was the cause, depressed E34 prices in UK causing meltdown in US due to jealous owners! And to think we were told here that it was bent surveyors over-valueing West Texas Trailer Trash and selling the packages to greedy vultures/stockbrokers???????!!!!!!!!!

Funny how not a week ago, the major news media outlets had the US economy as 'slowing' and were a little worried about inflation. Everyone was afraid to use the 'R-word' as it had'nt started yet. Then the presidential primary candidates start talking about the economy and magically were are knee-deep in a recession!yes, indeed ..... but to the sheeple it hasn't, it's just the beginning
What actually happened to the financial state of the nation in seven days time? Not too much other than a bunch of talking. I mean, who hasn't heard about the idiot bankers and their greed causing these headaches? Ain't nothing like playing 'Monopoly' with the homes folks live in...
Trying to be on-topic for a car forum; this whole push for alcohol in gasoline has already doubled the cost of corn and grains which means anything made with these staples rises in cost.
The above would be a good plan for Dr. Evil, i.e., let's make it so the average Joe can't afford to house and feed his family by making the staples of life too expensive to afford. Yeah, that's the ticket!
