No one person or group is completely responsible for the current U.S. economic crisis. A lot of the blame is shared by the various financial institutions that issued and traded risky financial instruments related to the nation's mortgage market. Blame can be placed on the country's legislators for lax legislation and oversight of these same financial institutions. Congress could also be blamed for not monitoring the activities of mortgage backers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The failure of Congress and presidential administrations, past and present, to balance our federal budget also contributed to the crisis.

Who is responsible for the economic crisis?

America. Think of the downward spiral like in the Great Depression. If you mean who made it happen, it's really a matter of opinion. Some say Obama made this happen to us (which I don't believe because I'm an Obama fan, and I think they're just frustrated with the crisis).

How do you feel about the economic crisis in the US?

The current crisis (circa 2009/2010) is the worst economic crisis of American history, but the same is true for almost every country of the developed World. Part of the cause may be due to policies of the US government but the same can also be said for other countries. It possible that the expense of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have made the crisis a little worse.
