People are dumb and make bad financial decisions. Nobodies fault but their own.

Its on the lender to do their due dilligence on the borrower. If they cant afford to pay the loan back and default I have no sympathy for the institution taking on the risk.
both of these are true. there is an issue with the latter though.
the borrower needs to pay what is owed.
the lender needs to profit (and) have the money to pay operation fee's and payroll.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act
Creditors offering an auto finance deal to car buyers cannot discriminate due to features of race, gender, religion, marital status, age or nationality. When auto loan rates are presented, it is illegal for the creditor to discriminate against a car buyer based on the characteristics of his or her credit report, including the prerogative of the buyer to receive public assistance. If a car loan is denied by a creditor, this act requires the creditor to present a valid and legal reason for denying the loan.
they are forced to "take the risk" by federal law.
to fix this... we would have to raise the credit requirement for receiving auto-loans. (2nd edit: without needing a co-sponsor)
or we could lower the amount of money able to be loaned to people without good credit.
(not that simple, but 2 general i.e.'s) edit: both would not be popular i'm sure. (and would somehow become a race issue)
