Sub-prime loans are, or more to the point, derivatives of sub-prime
loans. The heart of this economic collapse was greedy, incompetent
businessmen. When Lehman Brothers leveraged themselves over 33 to 1,
thinks get a little dicey when things go south. Compound that with a
herd mentality, and you get where we are. The government didn't do this,
but, hopefully, the government can get us out of this.


Not going to be easy.

Did I miss something? I've read that the percent of the bill going to
infrastructure is in the 5% range, yet the article above says this:

"The bulk of the bill's spending is aimed at bringing aging infrastructure
into the 21st century to preserve and improve the country's long-term
competitiveness in the global economy, creating millions of jobs in the
process."
