The $600 Billion Lie: Are We Living in 2008 Again?

What if I told you the global economy collapsed because of a lie simple enough to fit on a billboard: "Why rent when you can own?" 📉💸

In 2008, the financial system was like a Jenga tower made of lies. Banks took "radioactive garbage" loans, wrapped them in shiny paper, and sold them as gold.

In this video, we explain the 2008 Financial Crisis like you’re 5 years old. We uncover how the "American Dream" turned into a global nightmare through "NINJA Loans" (No Income, No Job, No Assets).

In this video, we cover: • The Ninja Loan: How part-timers with $5 savings got luxury condos. • The "Radioactive" Scam: How Wall Street bundled toxic debt and paid agencies to call it "Safe". • The Jenga Tower: Why the entire system was built to fall. • The Fallout: Why Wall Street got bailed out while Main Street suffered.

Was it a one-time accident, or is the market showing the same cracks today? Let's dig into the $600 billion crater that changed everything.
