I suppose if we had had to give over 850 billion in public money to the feckless individuals to bail them out we probably would blame them rather the banks.Originally Posted by World's End Stella
Much like the 2008 crash, actually.
How many times have we seen the accusation of 'irresponsible lending' leveled against banks without ever seeing the corresponding allegation of 'irresponsible borrowing' being leveled against the individuals who borrowed money they could not pay back?
Institutions are easy targets you see, individuals - especially the disadvantaged - less so.
