Mortgage Meltdown - No One Knew?

Chicago Tribune Excerpt:
Millions of people took out billions of dollars in unaffordable mortgages. No one quite knew it at the time, but they bet the future of the U.S. financial system as part of the deal.

How many times have you heard the question, "Who can afford those homes?" when talking about real estate values, mostly over $350,000 with a relative or friend in Illinois, Arizona or in Florida.

I don't have all the answers but after 14 years of "Contract on America" topped off by the last six years of Bush-style trickle-down economics, wrong-headed trade agreements, outsourcing jobs, shipping in labor, deregulation, privatization for profits, socializing the losses, misguided tax cuts and massive foreclosures on Bush's ownership society, we know what clearly doesn't work.
IT'S TIME FOR NEW DIRECTION.
