Right. The housing meltdown had NOTHING to do with predatory lending practices, despite what, oh, every independent assessment of the situation says. Of course some less than savvy people took out mortgages they shouldn't have; but by and large the overwhelming majority of the blame has to be one the lending institutions. Why? Because it's THEIR money they're lending. They're the ones who should be able to cut through the shit and figure out if the loan's a good one.
Oh that's right, they stopped caring if we all lost our houses as soon as mortgage-backed securities became a thing, huh? So now, instead of rooting for us ALL to succeed, they kind of don't care either way and then we get what we got.
Sometimes it really IS important to not have a half-baked, bullshit, rhetoric-filled explanation of the truth.
