I didn't know that the american people were forced to take credit from their banks - I always thought they took all this credit deliberately, because they wanted to obtain something they couldn't really afford.
I never used any bank credit in my life, only a small credit from the government for my university education, which I fully payed back, even prematurely. I did not even take credit for a house or an appartment. Had the american people done likewise, this whole mess would never have happened. People should not blame someone else (the banks, the system, whatever) for their own failures.
(And that was enough negativity for me today, going back now to pleasant things...)
