Honestly, maybe they just don't care? Rather, what should they do about it, what would we expect people with such huge earning potential right now to do other than push forward with the plan that works under the status quo. Answering my own question: I'd expect bankers to save more (of their own money) in anticipation of the good times not lasting as long. More conservative types will weather the storm and spendthrifts will get wiped out. In other words: business as usual, up until the very moment it isn't.
