You know nothing about me. I'm sorry that you had a difficult personal experience.

This is a gross sociological question involving millions of people. Nothing anyone can say about a question like this can possibly cover every case.

Maybe Bahnsen is wrong, but he's not uninformed. He works in the financial industry and makes an interesting argument.

He works in the financial sector and his argument after his sociopath colleagues tank the economy is that its someone else's fault. That's fantastic.

Banks are supposed to be experts in assessing risk and financial products. If an expert sells a bunch of bad loans knowing he is going to fraudulently sell them on to others anyway its the experts fault for tanking the economy.

At worst the buyers are stupid. There certainly was no crisis of faith and values.
