A mortgage crises meltdown, The economy in arrears, Companies going bankrupt, With lack of liquidity fears. People can't pay their mortgage, While many more are out of work, Maxing out the credit cards, As their financial ruin lurks. Finance wizards speculate, About the current course we're on, We...
