In my mind a lot of the blame for the home mortgage crisis belongs
squarely on the shoulders of those that received the loans.

True, but I'm a little more sympathetic to the homeowners as they aren't
the professionals in the relationship. I also have no sympathy for the
professionals if there was fraud involved.

Greed does funny things. In this case, it could take down the world's
economy.



In their quest to get into a home they failed to analyze what
could/would happen when the inevitable rate changes came along.

That doesn't excuse the lenders. "There's a sucker born every minute".
