It was caused by all of the money for nothing. Morgages and loans that were written and leveraged as the ink went down. Rediculous equity loans that had nothing to do with reality. Balloon payments that were impossible for even God's rich uncle to meet. Money for nothing. The money was spent and ultimately we got nothing.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
