I would like to thank the Islamists for a cause, at least. Money lending is prohibited by their religion.

And we have the Wall Street / banking disasters, almost all had 10 years. We had almost a second Great Depression.

About 1994, we have discovered that non-junk bonds investments, they were junk

In the 1980s we had the great savings and loan debacle. BTW, made George W. Bush his personal very many millions in the Silverado Savings and Loan scandal.

In the 1970s things were made by the oil embargoes of the shadows. And we are still driving SUVs. Thanks to Detroit. No wonder that our cars are all Japanese high efficiency.
