Mark the pre 07 levels were artificial. Started with Carter and went into Reagan and the elder Bush of making credit easier trying to stimulate the economy. Then once Clinton was in office all the gloves came off. I remember watching his speech. "Today I made achieving the American dream accessible to more Americans than ever before". What he had done was make it lenders had to accept welfare as a type of "income" on a loan application. That signaled the mortgage companies that they could target everyone.

Funny, but the politicians who set us up for failure were the first ones to accuse the banks and mortgage companies as being the bad guys. That's not saying they were not part way to blame. They were but had they not been allowed to run wild it never would have happened.
