<human>:  When did the Savings and Loan Crisis start and when did it end?
<bot>: The Savings and Loan Crisis started in the late 1980s and lasted until the early 1990s. It was caused by poor financial management and a series of government regulatory failures. The crisis was made worse by a combination of lax lending standards and the failure of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation to adequately insure the loans.
