Considering government policy in the US is a big reason for the problems, blaming capitalism is kinda funny.

The US government is capitalist. It primarily operates to defend the profits of large corporations. Yes, under either Democrats or Republicans, although the industries each represent only partly overlap.
I don’t understand the downvotes. It’s obvious that the each party represents differing corporate interests and those interests take precedence over everything. How much did Wall Street suffer for its malfeasance when Obama was President?
