Lehman Brothers and Government Intervention
Lehman Brothers faced severe financial distress due to poor mortgage investments, leading to its liquidation and the loss of 25,000 jobs. In response, the federal government stepped in, providing $85 billion to American International Group (AIG) to prevent further financial collapse. The government also worked to stabilize mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac amid the ongoing housing crisis. These events highlight the extent of government involvement needed during the financial crisis and raise questions about the Federal Reserve's actions, referred to as being 'asleep' during this turbulent time.
