“I completely agree whats done is done i don’t think you can point the finger in any one direction im sure in some cases people were excited and signed away others had their paper work messed with etc. It’s bad enough that people are completely in credit card debt and now have to lose their homes. Lets hope things change come November.”
Is that some kinda weird way of saying that you are FOR all the bailouts? There are plenty of people who lied, cheated, or damn near stole money in the housing boom and most of them are the “homeowners” that need to be ‘saved’ now. Most of them will never be held accountable in ANY way for their misdeeds. You are for this? It is ok to lie, cheat or be just terribly financially risky, as long as everyone else is doing it too? (and just saying “tisk tisk” then bailing them out IS telling them that)
This junk is just gonna get louder and louder till November. Just wait for the REAL election when it is McCain V Obama. Housing and how to “fix” it is gonna be every other word coming out of their mouths. The thing is, after the elections, regardless of who gets elected alot of it will go away. The government is gonna pull a Katrina cleanup on us and talk big game, spend alot of money, and help just about no one, with the possible exception of their campaign contributers. And yes, that money they spend is your tax money. (or in reality, your kids tax money as it is all borrowed money that will have to be paid back.)
On a side note, I thought of something kinda odd and I feel like a thread hijack. Can any of you think of something where the government acted quickly and efficiently and did the right thing? I am having trouble. 9/11, katrina, iraq, afganistan, Stock bubble pooping, housing bubble (the whole thing)…… In the last 8 years, can you name 1 thing that was organized, performed, and completed by the government within budget and actually successful in helping the majority of the intended people in a timly mannor? I am sure there is something, but I have a rageing headache right now and cant think of it. any ideas?
