Credit Crunch

The Credit Crunch occurred in late 2008, when the Bears jumped out from behind their hedges and began to savage the banks, which had previously been doing just fine lending money to risky customers. This caused the banks to fail, and ultimately to be bailed out by the Greatest President Ever. For details on other fiendish Bear plots, check out their involvement in the Stock Market!
