• El crédito demasiado fácil y los millones de malos préstamos concedidos durante la burbuja inmobiliaria estadounidense allanaron el camino para la calamidad financiera y la Gran Recesión que siguieron. Hoy, en cambio, el crédito es demasiado escaso. Los préstamos hipotecarios son especialmente difíciles de conseguir, lo que crea un problema para el mercado de la vivienda y la economía en general.

• From the Great Depression, to the stagflation of the seventies, to the current economic crisis caused by the housing bubble, every economic downturn suffered by this country over the past century can be traced to Federal Reserve policy. The Fed has followed a consistent policy of flooding the economy with easy money, leading to a misallocation of resources and an artificial 'boom' followed by a recession or depression when the Fed-created bubble bursts.

• In the economy of the cuckoo people that populate central banks, everything is possible. What you have is gigantic bubbles, the NASDAQ in 2000, then the housing bubble and then commodities in 2008 when oil went from $78 to $147 before plunging to $32 within six months.

• No es exagerado decir que el aumento de la desigualdad ha llevado a muchos del 99% a una zanja financiera. También contribuyó a generar la burbuja inmobiliaria que nos llevó a la crisis financiera de 2008, cuyos efectos persistentes han obligado a muchos manifestantes de OWS a intentar iniciar sus carreras en el mercado laboral más inhóspito que hemos visto desde la Gran Depresión. Incluso los recién licenciados que consigan encontrar trabajo sufrirán una penalización de por vida en forma de salarios reducidos.

• There is plenty of blame to go around for the U.S. housing bubble, but not much of it belongs to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The two giant housing-finance institutions made many mistakes over the decades, some of them real whoppers, but causing house prices to soar and then crater during the past decade weren't among them.
