Think of the loss of jobs and lives as a consequence.

The compensation paid out to families in vast amounts.

Think of the opportunities of new business from other countries investing their finances into our economy not implemented, the export trading seriously affected.

It’s not difficult to know which of the parties are responsible for the financial crisis we are experiencing.
