Yesterday Lehman Brothers Investment Bank failed. You want to know who caused this rash of failures since 2000? Not the housing crisis. Alan Greenspan and (Bush 1, Clinton, and Bush 2). The blame lies squarely with them for using the Fed to artificially cause the boom cycle in the 1990's and early 2000's. Cheap money. Now the American Tax payer will have to pay the piper.

We are at the tip of the ice berg folks. Strap in and get ready for the plunge.

Advice: Have 3 months of food / water on hand. Have 3 months of income in cash on hand. Get rid of your debt if you can.
