Sad story, true. Mod, not only let this thread get off track, but also contributed. Let a nagger argue about an union's short comings, in a different industry, your post be gone. There is a lost of confidence here. Mod, should recuse themselves. No love lost, money over everything.

I hope I won't regret this but...What's a nagger?
 
I have no problem with discussing politics in direct relationship too organized labor. IMO it’s fine in this topic as long as it pertains to unions but I do a agree with upnorth it went off topic.

How did they force them to offer those loans? Just curious what your sources say on the matter.

It is called creative lending. They had all they funny ways to get you a mortgage. Banks were in the bed with appraiser that were fudging the house value. Banks and lender were pushing ARMs, balloon payments, and anything else to get you the loan payment you need. I was hauling equipment during the crash and I can tell you I see it first hand. The company I work for help build this high end housing development were the houses started at $900K in 2007. We went back in there later 2009 to do some finish work and that same $900K house you could have built for just $600K. The market didn't crash it just went back down to were it should have been.

I just going to put this out there. It's a good read and has lots of facts. I look at it this way as you read think about what happened when govt gets involved. Look at what happen when de-reg happened. Now think about the govt getting involved in you healthcare..
Do you see a trend here.

“According to Business Insider, the median wage for truck drivers in 1977 hovered around $96,552 in today's dollars. Place that next to the current average of $43,680, and you'll see there's been a 45% decline in wages.”

You should be appalled by that fact. With the union decline so went the wages . That statement says it all. You have not seen the bottom yet.

From that same article:


“As usual, workers can find better pay through union labor. Because unions set the rate of pay, they'll typically go a little higher than the average job. Raises tied to cost of living will typically be factored into salary packages, which can seriously help in an industry notorious for not keeping up with inflation.”
