Is it true that the home-mortgage debacle is due to that segment of society that is poor and opportunistic?

bradwelljackson asked:


Is this the profile of the person resposible for the credit crunch: A low-income person who tried to figure out a way to get a house even though he knew he couldn’t afford one?

    No. It is down to irresponsible lending that means that these people are told that they CAN receive excessive amounts of credit. No body “tries to figure out a way” to get a house at all, we ALL scrimp and save to keep a roof over our heads. People as judgemental and naive as you make me so frustrated!!
