WOW!!!!  NOBODY (!?!?!) blaming the Lenders yet?  Hello?  You guys all feeling OK? LOL!!!
Or is it you REALLY hate the gd Fed so much you'll pass a chance at the Lenders for a shot at the Fed?
I'm left with an assumption that "individuals" means each of the above players... rather than strictly "consumers" else there would be a selection of "consumers" right?
Can I simplify & generalize by saying "GREED & FEAR" were the causes?
Can I go further to say that the markets (those gd "freee" markets) are sorting it all out in a pretty organized fashion, so far?
