Sure, seeing all that money flowing around around here in S. Europe, for example (I'm in the Canary Islands these last 25 years) we people, within the context of the ostensibly democratic rule of our local (corrupt, of course, and still surely rich) politicians, took advantage to the extent that we WORKED. We built new stuff. Some of it very good. And some of it shit, and most of it just another speculative financial tulip bubble.
But nobody here decided to hose all this subprime, for a while liquid, shit down here, not even the most corrupt of us.
Screwed up especially young, innocent (ignorant) lives.

What were they doing?
