When Did The Recession Start And How You Can Protect Yourself
The Current Economic Crisis
While we continue to endure the greatest economic crisis the world has ever seen many are still left wondering: when did the recession start? To explain the complete history of the mechanisms leading up to this economic recession would take much more time than either of us have here today.
The true reasons behind this crisis go back several hundreds of years and span the entire history of the United States. While this is too much to cover now, continue reading and I’ll touch on a few main topics that have led to this recession and how you can protect yourself from the worsening economy.
The Mechanisms
When did the recession start? For the purposes of this discussion we can go back about 12 years to the time of the Clinton administration. President Clinton, under the advisement of his secretaries, signed several key legislations which essentially deregulated the entire banking industry sending it back to the time just before the Great Depression.
As most of us still recall, especially those of us who follow the stock marketing, immediately following these deregulations we experience quite a boom in the tech market and dot com sectors. These extreme influxes of money were based on nothing tangible and, as bubbles will, this one burst into the very air it was built on leaving small businesses and small time investors devastated.
Once the tech bubble boom burst, banks minimized their losses by switching their shady investment practices to the housing markets. Since lending, investing and insuring money could now commingle without the impediment of congress, a virtual pyramid scheme was devised using the sub-prime mortgage lending markets. Of course, just as the tech bubble burst so did the housing market which led to the foreclosure crisis we are still hurting from.
Moving Forward
I wish I had better news but the fact is things are bound to get worse before they get better, if they get better. Our current economic recession will continue to destroy the financial security for families all across this country. Adding insult to injury, the mainstream media is still trying to convince us we’re in a recovery period even as they board up our homes and continue to slash our jobs market.
The single most important thing you can do today to help protect your financial future is to learn everything you can about our economy, our currency system and the forces behind the market fluctuations.
Words as Weapons
The banking and financial industry has a long history of creating a smoke screen with complicated wording and industry-specific language. Use that weapon against them by learning to speak this language of money, you’ll find that the truth behind those complex word games are actually quite simple, and also very troubling. Arm yourself with knowledge and start protecting your financial future today.
