Home buyers happily signed on the dotted line and obligated themselves to pay back loans they couldn't pay back. The banks certainly bear some responsibility for what happened but the individuals who by the millions took out loans and "stuck them in their greedy pockets" with little consideration about paying them back bear some responsibility as well.

This couldn't have happened without a lot of greed on both sides.
Agreed. You reap what you sow. America, all of America, not just the banks, has been very greedy, always wanting more, and more, and more, and most people will do anything to get more. Most people will borrow anything they can, never thinking about how they'll pay it back, as they're in search of obtaining more stuff.
