A majority of Democrats and many Republicans voted against the new mortgage lending regulations and oversight.
If you want to blame someone, there's plenty to go around dating all the way back to the mid-1990s.
Those borrowers, though irresponsible, were merely pawns. Securitization and CDSs became a money printing operation. Irresponsible buyers were the unwitting fuel.
And if it wasn't housing, Wall Street would have found something else to inflate. That's what it does. And when it fails, it gets bailed out. Why? Because it makes the rules - whatever the game.

Everyone knows there's blame aplenty to go around.
You still need dickweeds like those in that ad to play along. Without willing victims, there is no crime.

I know a lot of these agents were so busy selling homes and collecting their share of the loot, that many of them were driving 50K cars and sipping red wines every night and complaining about too much work. Does anyone here believe that these real estate agents do real work, I mean they open the lock of the house and show it around, and how come that cost 1000s of $s in commissions, that was earned 1$ at a time.
That commercial bothered me to absolutely no end when I first saw it in 2005.
