Who's fault was all the Chaos we expierenced?

[Bill]

If one would say it is the "buyers" fault that the Foreclosure mess was the buyers faults and not appraisers, bankers, and brokers fault Wouldn't it be like saying it was the stock/401K buyers fault for the Enron collapse by buying Enron stock and not Skilling and other's Enron Exec's fault for their greed and dishonesty? I had a banker tell me yesterday (after asking her how she looks at herself in the mirror) She told me she can dupe people since we live in a capitalist society so that made it okay for her to take advantage of anyone and blame it on them for their lack of intelligence in her field. I guess people will rationalize and justify their actions no matter how dishonest they are to make a buck.

Buyers were at some fault for taking on mortgages that they couldn't afford but the blame can continue on to the government and lenders. The banker you're referring to should find another profession. That's just pathetic.
