Money can be earned or taken. In most cases it was taken. The Savings and Loan Scandal was the equivalent to sneaking out your parents car at night for a joy ride, plowing into every car you see, and then wondering why your parents couldn't afford to send you to college. The party was just getting started though. Every individual who thought they had made it, was living beyond their means.
