See, that's the problem. Government is not there for "the people." It never was and never will be. It's always been there for the elites way back when the first real governments started forming during the agricultural revolution to protect the landowners. The mortgage crisis of 2008 was nothing more than a sophisticated asset bubble that burst. Just like the stock market today. It's gonna burst and average folks invested in 401ks will be the ones left holding the bag. And if the republicans had their way and turned social security over to wall street, we'd all be left holding the bag. The more money we give these guys the more asset bubbles they create. Instead of creating wonderful paying jobs, they use that money to buy up assets we depend on for day to day life. And through manipulation, it ends up costing a ton more for everything (healthcare, school loans, housing, etc...). Look at the recent drug pricing manipulation as a small example of what's happening throughout the economic system. It's a system where almost everyone including government ends up in debt to afford basic living expenses. It's unsustainable. Simply raising wages is not the answer. We need to stop these banker crooks from manipulating asset prices. That's why we need to elect Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders. They are the only ones discussing this whereas republicans want to "free the market" even more LOL. And I'm gonna be frank here.... if Joe Biden is the democratic nominee, I recommend everyone vote for TRUMP. And the only reason I'm saying this is if TRUMP wins it will help the crash come sooner. I'd rather suffer through a quick but seriously painful economic collapse than prolong the agony for another generation of young folks.

The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

I was an upperclassman in high school in '08. My dad filing for bankruptcy, my parents' divorce, the foreclosure on our house, and the evaporation of nest eggs like mine and my siblings' college funds were some of the immediate effects. The events over two years completely changed the directions of our lives - the fallout quietly permeating for years in different ways. I learned two extremely important things: 1) how to stand back up after being knocked down 2) Greed will *always* trump common sense and decency in a society enslaved to Capitalism *gestures broadly to Citizens United in 2010 and the partial repeal of Dodd Frank in 2018 which somehow didn't include the full reinstatement of Glass-Steagall when it was drafted and passed into federal law*

"Everyone for themselves" is a fair system to you? Okay, hope you like having to pave your own roads and highways then. Hope you don't like having a government or police force providing enough incentive for murderers and rapists to not attack you on sight.

"If I'm a rich dude and I have to pay 90% of my earnings in taxes, so that the government can decide what to do with my money. That's what happens in communism and socialism." Even if 90% tax rates on the rich were a thing, they'd absolutely be fair. The rich benefit the most out of anyone from any government, especially THE government. Most wealthy people have no practical skills of their own, or even basic life skills to take care of themselves, since many are born into lavishness and have servants in their households. Governments and civilization, which includes a state-funded police force to keep order, ensures that all that money that every single rich person "worked" for isn't just stabbed and cut from their purses overnight. Without a government taxing the wealthy, they'd have to spend a vast quantity of that wealth on mercenary guards to keep their treasures and hoard them, which doesn't even guarantee safety. The wealthy want to have as much power as possible in society, so they should be held accountable for it. Even if someone making $1 Million a year is taxed 90%, he's still living much better than anyone who makes less.

There’s another aspect to this: I was living in Florida when 2008 happened. I remember a couple of years before the crash, a knew a couple of people that didn’t have a pot to piss in, all of a sudden were buying houses. This video isn’t lying about how loose the lending became. Even the church my mom went to got into the “rental property” business. The daughter of the preacher and her new husband bought 10 houses in one year. The preacher and his wife did the same, the church choir leader and his wife? They literally started a company, and had plans to build a whole subdivision (I’m not kidding when I say this, they showed us the blueprints to the subdivision). I’m not gonna bog the comment sections, but the TL;DR version is the preacher and his wife lost all their homes and had to move themselves and their 7 kids into the church, itself. Their daughter and her husband literally lost everything. They were riding off the thousands a month they were getting from their rentals, but once those balloon/adjustable payments hit after a year or so, they couldn’t afford day to day expenses, and they just had a child. Husband had to enlist in the military. The church choir leader? That was a doozy. They were also in the process of building this gigantic house that had a butlers quarters and all that, but when the crash hit, the house was only half finished. The bank said they didn’t want it, but since it was mortgaged, they were still liable for the payments.

The bit that everyone always leaves out is the Government's role. They saw that middle-class and up families owned homes, and somehow concluded that if everyone owned a house, than they would all be wealthy (rather than houses being expensive). So, under Clinton, they passed anti-redlining laws that made it hard for mortgage lenders to refuse mortgages. Afterwards, some of the larger lending groups, lobbied to be able to have higher interest rates. Because, until the 90s, there were laws that set the maximum possible interest rate. This allowed them to make these predatory loans. Bush expanded pro-homeownership laws in an effort to broaden his appeal. Really loved your video.

That meant that Freddie and Fannie had to buy up loans while meeting a quota where 55% of those loans were originated to families that were making below the median income.

He went from owning a construction business that paid his workers benefits better then the competition across his state, to being out in the field taking unemployment with the workers he had to let go as he would have lean days where he wouldnt eat so I could but sit at the dinner table all the same. The area he was based in alone was one of the biggest growing in the country, and essentially 180'd in a year. Crippled the local economy for awhile but oddly enough, not the growth. Which only exacerbated the issues.

This is the most in-depth yet also quick explanation of the crisis that I've seen. Thank you so much for this.

Excellent video. You manage to give a thorough explanation of a complex issue in a surprisingly short amount of time. Keep up the great work.

I was in college in Ireland when this happened. In the years prior to the crash the banks would actually ring my parents house unsolicited and basically say: do you want a loan? Here, have some money. Theres loads of it! Looking back, we (society) absolutely deserved to go to the wall for this.

Booming for who? The wealth gap is the widest it's ever been. Healthcare is still unaffordable and the biggest reason for personal bankruptcies. Young people are in massive debt from school loans and can't afford to live on their own because of high rents and other costs relative to wages. The jobs being created are NOT paying enough. The under-employment statistics back this up. The real underemployment is well over 15% if you count not only the unemployed, but people working part-time and those working low paying jobs. Stop judging an economy based on stock prices, GDP and CPI. None of those show the well-being of average folks, and most of those numbers are fudged (especially the CPI). Look at this short 2 minute video of John F Kennedy discussing this. It fits perfectly for our times. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aWt9xq1_obvIhbw.html

I remember getting my first proper part time job not long before the recession hit in 2008 and lost it after only a few months in, then the shop shut down as well so yea that was an abrupt introduction to it, then graduated uni in 2013 when things were still not great prospect wise - to this day I've never managed to use my degree but managed to keep my head above water with low wage jobs and renting, but definitely nowhere near where I imagined I would be based on what I was told growing up

It's important to note that not all subprime loans defaulted. A lot of people achieved their dreams with limited financial means. I still believe that bailout money should have been invested in the "real source": Helping those lenders that just couldn't make it (often due to predatory loans). Might have saved us all a whole lot of hassle... Thanks for the really got nutshell-vid!

My aunt and uncle got hit by the subprime debacle: took out a 2nd mortgage on their home to fix it up before they planned to sell it a few years down (and move into a condo) the road and the bank talked them into a subprime loan. They had to put of their respective retirements for a few years too.

For the past few weeks l have learnt alot in this channel than l ever did in highschool..great work

I love how you break things down

What I got is that companies, and unaware people, for money, have crossed their limits and generally dismissed them foolishly thinking they're fine, and then their string suddenly breaks with the burden of their careless economic status and then WE are supposed to take it.

I was 9 years old durring this and from what I can remember my family wasn't really effected by it I was still living in the house I lived in for most my life and I never noticed any sense of panic in my family. Whether or not they panicked when I wasn't around I don't know. I just mainly find it interesting how these things happen and as a kid you really dont see the full scale of them. It creates some interesting interactions later in life.

Thanks for the explanation! Was very useful!

Subprime loans weren't predatory. They were designed as a way for people, who wouldn't normally be able to afford one, to be able to finance a home. The government made it mandatory for banks to offer them. And while they got out of control, it was less about predatory lending than it was about financially unsavvy people who didn't understand what a variable rate loan was. What made it so impactful was the fact that between Dec 2001 and June 2004 the Fed Funds Rate was between 2% to 1%, then rose sharply to 5.25 in Oct 2006 until Jul 2007. So when the majority of the loans were made, the interest payments were minuscule. But when the higher rates kicked in, the rates were much higher. This rate change was key to the whole disaster, but few people bother mentioning it. Then, if that wasn't bad enough, the economy began to slow down as productivity began to drop. It wasn't the finical crisis that triggered the economic slowdown. It was the reverse. But the crisis did make it much worse, of course.

For context: a synthetic CDO, which is mentioned very shortly here, is a CDO made up of the (insurance) premiums paid on a Credit Default Swap, instead of the similarly-structured payments on a mortgage repayment. This means that the investment banks creating synthetic CDOs didn't have to raise the capital to make a loan for an MBS; instead they could rely on mortgages not defaulting to not pay out the insurance (CDS) on said mortgage, and turn the insurance premiums into an effective replica of a CDO, loaning-free. This got extra bad when people started buying CDSs on CDOs and synthetic CDOs, because then exponentially more capital was at risk, yet exponentially further from the thing they were really betting on.

Very good viedo. Writing for a project for university about it and you covered all the important points imao.

Everyone is saying that. If we hit a recession, people are saying it’s not going to be a bad one like 2008. The problem is investors and the government don’t know how to control their money. Everything is about spend, spend, spend. I always say that the government should open a savings account and put x amount in the savings account and use whatever they have left to spend. It’s that simple. The problem is investors and the government don’t have that type of common sense.

Great video Richard, I know its probably because of the limited time, but I think you were not harsh enough on the government for their role in the crisis. They tried to incentivize the "American dream" by forcing Fannie and Freddie to buy a increasing number of subprime loans, which increased demand for them exponentially to the point were these companies begged banks to make more terrible loans, etc, etc. Banks and insurers were definitely to blame, in part, but congress and other government entities messed up terribly by trying to "give everyone a home", even those who could not afford it. Keep up the great content!
