Nothing is ever anyone's fault and people always expect government or some other entity to fix their problems. We live in a country full of idiots who don't believe personal responsibility applies anymore.

What about the people who had the means to buy a home for the last 10-15 years and chose not to because the "bubble was going to burst" and they wanted to outsmart everyone.
Government fixes their problems all the time. I don't disagree about over leveraged people, but can we play the personal responsibility card both ways?
