Re: "sir Alan to blame" 20% down and income verification for a home mortgage would have prevented the bulk of the current problems I know that's a bold statement, but as I think about it, much of the world's bad debt/credit is related to giving mortgages to people who couldn't otherwise afford them. In other words, loaning money to people who couldn't pay it back. Who said home ownership was a right, not a privelege? Bush wanted to nationalize home ownership, now instead we will nationalize the resulting bad debt (sorry for the duplicate post on RE board)
