This is a very good thread, however, was it really needed? No one will admit when Clinton did anything wrong, he's like a cult hero or something.
Let's be clear, while the lending institutions did give out money a little too willingly, there really is no one to blame other than the people themselves. We all like to point blame to others, and make excuses, but the general public asked for money and AGREED IN WRITING to pay it back, they are the ones that should be blamed. Hell, I want a Corvette, BADLY! But you don't see me with one do you???? Of course not, cause I can't afford it. I have excellent credit, I can have it right now if I want it, but I know that will kill me financially. Blame the institutions all you want, but there was a time when a man's word meant something, now it means shit.
