It doesn’t do enough to show how irresponsible individual people were in signing those mortgages. It takes two to tango. The banks preyed on idiots but they had to have idiots to prey on.
Don’t be an idiot when somebody is trying to part you from your money.

I like the fact that they used a stripper to illustrate this...with her 5 mortgages.
Like idiot College kids in the late 2000s who had 10 Credit Cards and then cried that they weren't responsible for the debt.
Free money, everyone gets a trophy.

It does, but the actions on one side were criminal. Simply signing up for bad loans isn’t.
