<<<I can't believe lenders would be so liberal if they were on the hook for all these loans.>>>

I have two considerations.
Banks can't resist manias. I.e. if one single bank stops making loans it will have to close the shop.
Biggest banks are public companies, so the only thing their officers care about is their stock options. They sell today and will get new options when prices plunge.

I do not know exactly who bears the risk now , but there is no doubt that banking system exposure is minimal compared with other entities -- hedge funds, pension funds, Federal Mortgage Agencies, and mutual funds
