Introduction to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission is a bipartisan commission that has been given a critical non-partisan mission — to examine the causes of the financial crisis that has gripped the country and to report our findings to the Congress, the President, and the American people.
Hopefully, the Commission’s work can help rebuild the American people’s belief in a financial system that puts Americans to work, fulfills their goals and provides the foundation for a new era of broadly shared prosperity.

The depression of the 1930’s yielded banking reforms (”The GlassSteagall Act) that kept America’s economy fairly safe, until its repeal in 1999 — after a long, gradual descent into the land of deregulation. I hope and pray for similar reforms to come out of this review, with biparitsan support in Congress. I believe that expressing anger about this, though understandable, is counterproductive in our situation. The stakes are very high: Instead we should be PRAYING FOR OUR COUNTRY EVERY DAY!

Let me guess. It was because of free market capitalism and greed. The solution is more government to protect us from all the greedy bankers.
