But for those FReepers and anyone else who hasn’t, I urge you to watch the Frontline special linked above. It is excellent. This woman was treated shamelessly; yet had they listened to even 25% of what she warned about, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

The blame isn’t as widespread as it superficially seems. The people responsible are trying to point at the ones downstream for repackaging bad loans, but the culprits were those that encouraged, mandated and wrote the bad loans. Together with those who wroted laws setting up Freddie and Fannie, putting the US taxpayer on the hook.
