Instead, just take what the left wing news sites tell you? The problem was everyone. The door was opened by the government subsidizing homes loans for those that banks would never have given loans to if the government didn't pay them to do it. How that can not be blamed on the government in your eyes, is beyond me. |
Did the government force them to give out the loans to people with no income or jobs, nope, did the government force people to take it, nope, did the government cause continued lending even when it was clear the market was over leveraged, nope, did the government cause the lack of regulation of the shadow banking, bait and switch, and other predatory lending practices, nope, all those were not the government. I thought your right wingies were all about personal responsibility, none of that was the government, so you can't say it was the government's fault if you talk about personal responsibility, people acted stupid, and they are to blame
