Yes, there were a number of people...thousands, and we know what followed. Many financiers took advantage of the ignorance and naievity of ordinary people.
I have no problem with the Goverment helping those in need. But can you tell me how enticing someone in to a situation which may well condemn them to poverty for years is good for them or anyone?
