Is Our Desire for More Sinking the Ship?

This economic recession has opened a number of people's eyes to the greed and corruption that has long been defining Wall Street. Wall Street executives, knowing that their institutions were failing, were doing everything they could to receive golden parachutes. And banks were improving their bottom lines by making loans to people who were living outside their means. So, I guess my question to you is, Is our desire for more sinking the ship? If so, does that make it even more difficult to tighten the belt?

What do you think? I look forward to reading your responses.
