Crisis Anyone?

So we’re in a crisis are we not? I just want to hear from regulars on WSO as to why they think this has happened. Is it because of earlier deregulation? Is it because of simply bad investments? If it’s bad investments, the old saying comes to mind, would you jump off a bridge just because Lehman did? Maybe it’s partially because of the $9.6 Trillion U.S. Federal Deficit? World political instability? Mercury in Retrograde? Oh, and of course maybe I’m just imagining it!
