Question Inspired By An Episode Of NPR's Intelligence Squared:

Who do you blame more for the current financial crisis? Washington or Wall Street?

Personally I'd split the blame 52% Wall Street/ 48% Washington. Washington wrote the rules in a way that left a lot of loopholes, but Wall Street decided to walk through them.

Well, if you're going to spread the blame around more...

I still say Wall Street has a larger share than Washington.

I'll grant you the line between those two groups is usually very blurry.
