Agreed.
I have a few points to make about "stupid" poor people taking out loans they couldn't afford:
1 When they defaulted they would have no way to pay it back so the money not paid back to the banker is lost.
2 The bankers should have known the above and taken it into account -- this is their fucking job.
3 "Financial Advisors" were selling mortgages based on what was known to be toxic debt over ten years ago -- I know because I was paid off on condition I didn't go public, and I know a lot more people were too.
4 This hasn't hurt the people in the US with NINJa loans -- it hurt everyone else.
So, yes, the overpaid tossbags that we call bankers fucked up royally and it seems their whole system was set up so they take no blame.
