From DU's very own rubber room. Where the people too crazy to be allowed in public go to drink paint thinners and chew their livers.

Who crashed the planes into our economy?
I think it's a MIHOP.

It's fairly apparent that you don't actually think.

1. And a very well planned one at that. The question is, Why? What is to be gained...
by bringing the US to it's knees?

5. stealing all the money
then bankrupting everyone else
makes one pretty powerful, que no?
I'm constantly confused by the DUmmies accusing the rich of "stealing all the money". Poor people don't HAVE money to steal. I think most of this is just projection.

6. Amazing how quickly it seemed to all fall apart as well... What was it...
September, and the shit hit the fan? It is my personal opinion that this was a planned execution as a last kick in the teeth by the Bush Administration.
Yeah... The same "evil boosh administration" that you're accusing of stealing all the money, would deliberately take actions that would ensure that everything they are accused of stealing becomes worthless. Sheesh.

9. a number of ways...
no-bid war profiteering contracts,
giant bales of twenties that just went missing,
suckering of naive consumers into unsustainable debt by predatory lenders, then that debt being sold, resold, derivatized and sold and resold again as assets,
eight years of 24X7 theft at every level and by every possible mechanism
LARED struggles in vain to fight the seething currents of stupidity in the rubber room. It's like trying to push water up hill with a pointy stick.

13. The causes of the economic collapse were carefully planned and executed,
in order to enrich a few people beyond all imagining. The primary goal was the theft of enormous amounts of wealth. The known secondary effect, which magnifies the advantage of the primary, is to drive hundreds of millions into poverty.
The restoration of, well, feudalism, has been the goal of "conservatism" since the end of feudalism 800 years ago or so.
Stark raving mad...

18. It's a chance for the have-mores to cash out of the system
and consolidate their winnings (helped of course by the bank bailouts which replaced the billions they should have lost).
Once the economy hits bottom then it's time to push the reset button. Something new will begin to take it's place (it could be the much-touted "green economy"). Then the have-mores cash in and provide the much needed capital for the new economy to grow.
(That's my theory anyway).
So... The "rich" crashed the economy, wiping billions off their bottom line, just so that they can reinvest what remains in the much laughed at "green economy".
I wish these people would think before they bash away on their keyboards.

Toooooooo funny. Thanks.
It'd actually be "funny" if the OP wasn't dead serious.
