I think its safe to say that even the most prestigious of publications have commentators that don't know their collective arzes from their elbows!

There is such a scramble for the high moral ground now our biggest danger is an avalanche!

I feel that in the last few years I and many of my accountant colleagues spent many unpaid hours trying to convince people to not expose themselves too much to debt. Likewise many of the bank managers I dealt with were prudent in their lending policies and gave many of my clients great cautionary advice. We were sometimes treated as party poopers and typical boring accountants. However all I know is that I sleep very well at night. No guilt.
The mistakes were made in the USA (apache loans), Ireland-large borrowers, bank CEOs, asleep regulators, greed.
