With no indictment of the institutions that enabled and overtly encouraged it. Cuts both ways with the consumer and the bankers! Cant have 1 without the other. Oh and the banks making loans for short term gain in fee's to people with little or no documented means.
Yep thats just good business eh? Sorry but the banks could say no. They actually chose not to. End of story. Ask the Fed and the minutes that proved the working of the banking industry. Based on that it was about 60/40 bank to consumer. Ultimately we bailed out the banks for making BAD LOANS. Go figure.
