As most readers know, a large part of the anger in the US has been about fall-out of the 2008 financial crisis. This is a long story, but basically it resulted from a steady loosening of banking regulations, eventually leading to mortgages being issued to almost anyone (the "subprime" crisis), the consequent real estate bubble, and then the Great Collapse in 2008.
Truly, the fault lies with the law-makers. If you open the door to the chicken house and invite the fox in, then you are delinquent in your duty!
