JohnJ gave an excellent example around these parts just yesterday of former mortgage bankers who blame the housing problems solely on ‘bad buyers’ and view themselves as the ‘injured party’.

Self-deceptions are going to have to be mitigated before any of these problems can be addressed; one of the things that’s most incredible to me in watching all this play out is how unbelievably wrapped up in denial the guilty parties appear to be.
Kind of like the post-election GOP, who think that ‘better marketing’ is going to save their party.
Whatever….
