skeeter,

This is nonsensical.

Aside from all the reckless and criminal behavior enabled by easy money and credit from Greenspan, it was the government that encouraged lenders to make many of the loans that are blowing up now because of their efforts to expand home ownership to people that really couldn't afford it.
