Understand the Financial Crisis

[Ravi Karandeekar]

What does it all mean?

Freddie and Fannie, Bernanke, Bush, mortgages, loans, foreclosure,
$700 billion bailout, recession, crisis. These are the words filling
the headlines and being tossed around in Washington and on Wall Street
in worry and, yes, panic. What does it all mean?

Most of us aren't economists and aren't expected to understand what
exactly is going on on Wall Street, but we all have a pretty good
sense that things aren't going well and it's bound to affect our
economy and eventually our homes, if it hasn't already.

It has sent economists scrambling to get the information out there, to
educate those of us who aren't following the trends or the ticker
tape. However, it stands to be one of the more crucial and pivotal
times for the American economy; all just months before a presidential
election. Those in the know promise that the more you know about it,
the better the chance you have of withstanding it intact.

So let's get educated on the financial crisis before it's too late.
