No, this financial crisis started because the Republicans and nutless democrats deregulated the financial system and planted people that were friendly and actually conspiring with the industries they were supposed to be regulating.
They took down the rules that FDR put in place during the depression. This started in 1973 under Nixon with the removal of fixed exchange rates. Imagine that. When left to Police themselves, lying, cheating thieving Bankers do what history has proven the lying, cheating, thieving bankers will do.
They loot the economy and steal other peoples money.

Can you expand on what you mean?
I take responsibility in the fact that I am not down on the door step of the capitol with a sign and rallying people to stop deregulation of the financial system from happening.
So in that regard, yes when I look in the mirror I am mad at myself for not stopping the bankers from looting the economy blind.
