The S & L crisis occurred because the criteria for managing them were relaxed. S & L is a unique bank that can secure funds from low interest deposits in savings accounts for collateral. In the 1980s, challengers of these savings accounts gained popularity in the form of money market accounts. They offer depositors with higher interest rates. S & L can not compete and loses funds. They went to Congress and asked for a limit on the low interest rates they paid.
