Rt.66
ParticipantThe thing that really struck me about this show (and no one has mentioned it yet) is the houses these people we were expected to feel sorry for are living in.
Didn’t anyone else notice??????
Lower income people living in very large, very new, very fancy 3 car garage stucco palaces.
If I lived in Normalville USA I’d be so super pissed that there is even any consideration to “saving” these people’s mini-mansions.
Hey middle America you get to fund our fancy lifestyles and you get to be taxed to death to pay for my stucco-palace Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Thanks Obama!

ParticipantScarlet – yes. The guy making 900 a week that signed papers saying he made 4xs as much bought his nice house in San Clemente for 580k. Went up to 640k. I just couldn’t feel sorry for the guy.
I mean, this is finance 101. We can’t force them to be smart or take classes, but damn it, I’m not going to feel sorry for them getting in over their head.
I honestly don’t know what happened in the past several years that made banks give money away to whoever had a pulse and people think they can live in half million+ dollar houses when they don’t even come close to in the real world afford it.
Don’t get me started. All these folks should’ve been renting until they could afford to buy. But I guess there’s a stigma about renting. God forbid you do it right instead of lying and cheating your way into a house.
Sympathy for their stupidity and greed. Not a chance.
However, don’t go off on Obama. W. left after giving the banks a boat load of cash and a tap on the shoulder. It all sucks!

ParticipantI thought it was funny. All the FB’s on that show were accepting a small part of the blame yet shifting the majority of blame to the lenders. The lenders, in turn, were saying “nobody put a gun to their head and made them sign”.
What really cracked me up was how the FB’s were shown singing to Jesus and thanking god.
