All the talk of the Financial Sector, Credit Default Swaps insured by AIG London advised by Blackstone, and 30:1 leveraging of Mortgage Backed Securities deepening the crisis is met with yawns and allegations of being a socialist hippie who hates business.
Nope, it was the poor people who were too stupid and lazy to afford mortgages who were at fault. They were blamed for the 2008 crisis, and they'll be blamed for this bubble too. Oh, and the Communist Chinese too for good, Xenophobic measure.
