It's a pretty dismal situation. Feel particularly for young people who are faced with

this situation and having to pay through the roof for housing and if they've been to University, paying of debt. We should be ashamed of ourselves for the greed that's allowed this to happen at others expense, particularly the next generations. I'm sure you're right and there'll be some who'll justify it but it tends to be the "I'm alright Jack" brigade. As it happens many of us are "alright" but I genuinely fear for the future of my kids and of course anyone caught in this situation.
