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.

30% Washington, 30% Li for inenting the theorem that wall street chose to use to justify those mortgages and 30% wall street.
