But Ray, that is what the government wanted.  The public school promote it. 
Television promotes it.  The credit card companies promoted it by handing 
out cards to people that couldn't even prove they had an income.  Hell's 
bells, they even issued credit cards to dead people and to people's pets!

Then you have ACORN and the rest of what I call the whining brigade that 
sued the bejeebers out of mortgage companies and forced them to issue 
mortgages to folks who wouldn't have traditionally been able to get them. 
All in the name of "non-discrimination," doncha know.

There's more than enough blame to go around.

However, when a government actively promotes a nanny state, they shouldn't 
be surprised when what they promoted comes back to bite them.

Besides, silly, it isn't PC and it's discriminatory to have a Darwin's law
