[quote=barnaby33]Um Rt.66 it was the middle class that got us into this. There is plenty of blame to go around. It goes around to everyone. Lots of people (hence the middle class) have very little understanding of how the world even works

You can’t blame the greedy bankers, the senators, the appraisers blah blah blah, without looking in the mirror. You get the govt and regulations you vote for and are worthy of. While I agree with Karl more than I disagree Populism is not the answer. Convincing your friends/family/co-workers to vote for legislators who will do the right thing despite short term pain is.

I disagree. Do you really think WE get to choose who gets into office? Even when we think we have a choice and pick a winner they always end up being the same old self-serving (or should I say banker serving) politicians.

No, we have little power over that right now, but we have lots of power over whether or not we continue to pay on that ARM Greenspan suggested that we jump into, AND we have power over whether or not to buy an over-priced house.

I could care less who’s fault it is at this point. We are here, so now what? I say let’s get something for ourselves out of this.
