It's not really a stereotype.
Most people want to see more reform and regulations (me included) but the truth is... the USA is a bit more of a "gambler" culture then the rest of the world.
Or at least it seems that way. We're more likely to let people be as stupid as they want to be...
If someone wants to take out a bunch of loans they know they can't pay back... it's their own fault.
but when it effects everybody.. that's when it's time to say enough is enough.
The USA in general is kinda allergic to a "father knows best" type of government.
Hence why it's almost the lowest on those they chose to feature... despite the fact the crisis hit here... and hit here almost as hard as anywhere else.
