I still say it was the building industry that pushed for faster home sales in the late nineties and early 2000s that profited from demolishing the economy (the burning house that Hank cashed in on earlier in 2006). Wall Street and the financial institutions caught with the empty bags certainly didn't help, but those that wanted greater profits from natural resources (especially wood) are the ones who ultimately pressured banks to woo low income buyers in the first place into signing for mortgages they couldn't really afford. The selling of these later as toxic assets was the final stroke.
