49. It isn't one specific person, but rather a large number of people

Yes, Reagan has responsibility for part of this mess, as does Bush I, Bush II and Clinton(who actually did more deregulation of the financial sector than Reagan did:shrug:). Also greedy corporations and foolish borrowers hold some portion of blame for this mess. As does the last dozen or so Congresses, corporate lobbies and PACS, and a number of other people.

This is, frankly, a train wreck, where the greed and stupidity of many met at an intersection, and now we're left to clean up the mess.
