We Need Money

[Scythe13]

It's not the bankers fault. They saw a way to make a quick buck, and they went for it. Granted it's totally screwed everything up. But it's much more than the bankers that have screwed up our financial system. What about the stock traders who shorted so many shared to bring the share price down? What about the government who regulate so poorly. What about the financial advisers to tell people to invest in stock held pension plans? What about the people taking 125% mortgages knowing they didn't need that amount? What about the idiots investing in properties that didn't have a clue how to invest wisely? What about the mortgage companies that allowed the idiots access to the funds in the first place? What about those tv shows about people buying houses and selling them at huge profits?What about the economy that made the house prices rise to these idiots thought it possible to make that much money so easily? Oh wait......we're the economy. Us, the consumer and buyers.

Only blaming the bankers is like blaming rain for sinking the titanic, because rain is water and ice is what sunk the titanic.

There's a whole lot more than just bankers that has crashed our economy.
