U.S. housing policies are the root cause of the current
financial crisis. Other players-- “greedy” investment
bankers; foolish investors; imprudent bankers;
incompetent rating agencies; irresponsible housing
speculators; short sighted homeowners; and predatory
mortgage brokers, lenders, and borrowers--all played a
part.
