American Home Mortage filed for bankruptcy last month after falling victim to the weak housing market. Aimee Waltz, a loan officer who recently lost her job with American Home Mortgage, says it's not just irresponsible lenders who've brought on the subprime mortgage crisis.

Waltz speaks with Renee Montagne.
