How come it’s only here that I see somebody write that forcing banks to accept dodgy borrowers (a) happened, and (b) was a factor in the financial disaster?

The best book I've read (and I've read several) about the buildup to and details of the crash is "The Sellout" by Charles Gasparino. It's out there, it's readily available, but to answer your question, it requires that a person be willing to obtain it and read 400 or so pages. The average voter's attention span won't allow that; neither will that of most MSM pundits.

I only have one functioning brain cell left, and there’s quite a long waiting list to use it.

Tomorrow at 1300 I’m scheduled to remember the appointments I missed last Friday.
