Read my previous posts clearing up this matter. The greed relates to credit card debt and accruing of loans. I do think people on high mortgages were drawn in by the availability of cheap credit and didn't think about their ability to pay it back as thoroughly as perhaps they should have done. I know they were responding to market conditions but they do have to take some responsibility for the decisions they made. Despite this, I don't think these people are greedy, proving I should have checked my post before editing it as I have clearly conflated two issues.
