I have nothing to do with this

As I am not an expert in finances or economics, I defer any judgment on the bailout and its failure.

But we are all experts in politics, aren't we. Do I understand it correctly that the basic driving force behind the current financial troubles is a failure of a socialist experiment in the housing market? Or is it only part of the problem?

And the politicians, as usual, will blame someone else. (And everybody else will blame politicians.)

It is interesting to note, too, that more Americans are reported to trust Obama's team on economics than McCains' team. Whereas one would think that it would be the other way.

Update. A bit heated in the comments. Chill out, the world is not going to end right now.

здоровая, с Вашей точки зрения, надо полагать, это та, которая решила, что следует одалживать деньги неимущим, поскольку это значит делать добро для всей нации, независимо от способности одалживающего выплачивать долги?...

э...откуда вы вывели такое мнение о моей точке зрения?
С точностью до наоборот.
