We were in the years 2003 + pulling ourselves out of an economic slowdown by lowering the interest rate, and loosening loan requirements. It wasn't just housing! In short, there was a huge money flow from abroad to finance our recovery, on the mistaken belief that the US economic boom would continue, Of course, those banks and financial institutions in foreign countries thought in time, their investments would increase in value, and could be sold. The opposite happened, and now there is a world wide credit freeze. == The economies of the world are intertwined and what happens in the US affects every country in the world. The US economy is approximately 30% of the the world economy, so anything that happens in the US will affect everyone. The US is the worlds largest importer and either the largest or second (Germany) largest exporter.
