An infantilised electorate

Fresh out of the Treasury Select Committee on Wednesday Jeff Randal strips the issue of debt to the fundmanetals in the Telegraph today
We're in denial: afraid to face up to the real causes of recession
Finally someone trying to shift the spotlight around to those that share the blame. It is not only
bankers and subprime in the US to blame..
For if too much debt is at the heart of the crisis, what about the over-borrowers? What do they have to say?I'm not talking about unfortunate souls who have slipped behind as a result of redundancy or family crisis. I'm more interested in Smart Alecs who signed for a dozen credit cards and then spent over the limits. Or homebuyers who enjoyed a burst of creativity when it came to disclosing incomes on mortgage forms. Or heavily geared buy-to-let merchants who worked out that instead of paying for a house, they could get a house to pay for them.

I'm not sure there will be momentum in this sentiment - but it will be interesting to watch.
