There were victims, they're called taxpayers. Blame the Fed & Congress, not the companies they shielded from the negative effects of capitalism.
I agree about the Fed and Congress but I'm confused about "the companies they shielded", would that be Countrywide whose head went to prison or more like BoA and Wells Fargo who are paying millions in fines to the Gov. for their actions but little if nothing to those effected by their actions?
