Ain't the banks fault. The bank can not control how much OTHER credit a borrower decides to use. The bank was not irresponsible, the borrower was.

I am no expert in high finance, but weren't these kinds of situations already accounted for in the calculations of credit scoring systems and other risk-assessment models?
