Default Mortgage crisis = payback for OPEC

http://www.arabianbusiness.com/51268...e-crisis?ln=en

In short, since arab banks are now such heavy stakeholders on the world financial markets they've found themselves taking substantial losses in the wake of every asstard and his brother defaulting on their mortgage.

The net effect of this if you look at it very simply is that all that money we've all been pouring into our gas tanks has been re-invested by the OPEC'ers (pun intended) into our own shitty economy and has purchased countless houses and plasma tv's and SUV's for millions of Americans. We should have signs on the doors of the banks that read (in arabic) "Please wait in line. By Allah everyone will have a chance to be gouged. Yours, USA. PS... We told you not to **** with us."

Seen the price of oil lately? That's how. And it'll probably get worse.
