Some Banks and Mortage companies clearly used deceptive practices.
And you clearly know this if you have been following the debacle.

BTW. Why did you process loans when it was clear people
had reservations about the closing costs (ie would have trouble
making the payments)?
There have been an abundance of loan officers that quit or
blew the whistle on their employer when they noticed the type
of loans going down.

Greedy folks living beyond their means on both sides of this story.

I was not a loan processor, I was a paralegal.

Losing good paying jobs is the problem....

But it's not being talked about. What the powers that be are doing is conditioning americans to accept pay cuts AND control their budgets in an economy where inflation is going to ass rape them into oblivion.

With this socialist assholeface in office we're heading down a path of s.hit. F.uck Lyndon Johnson in the ass. And F.uck George Bush in the ass for being a dumbs.hit and enabling these f.ucktards to seize power again. And f.uck minorities and the poor who can work but choose instead to take advantage of the system.

Good paying jobs like the CEO's who ran with the money?
Fck them in the ass? You cant fck them in the ass. They
ran off with their ass or are hiding their ass behind their lawyers.


What about fck the greedy bastards that made these godawful
financial instruments that contributed to the mess? What about
fck Madoaf in the ass? A significant number of rich greedy people cost this country a heck of a lot more than the poor people sitting on their collective butts.

Good to see Pillow back in the mood.
I was worried.

It seems to me that alot of people are just really stupid , whatever happen if it sounds to good to be true it is. That is pretty much what happened with the housing crisis , people with their heads up their arse who couldnt afford a house because they didnt make enough money and they knew it , are now all of a sudden home owners who refinanced their homes with only 1 to 2 years of ownership and instead of putting it back into their house they went and bought big screen tv's and new cars ( that they cant pay for either) refurnished their homes and so on.
So now because they are dumb shits , I get to help them pay for their house when I dont even own my own house , what a crapper.
I should have just went and lived beyond my means like all the other numbsculls and I could have someone paying for my house now too.

Yes.
And you are also gonna bail out the CEO's from investment
banks and car companies who also not only made stupid decisions,
but in some cases made criminal decisions. You will pay for their
bonus next year. I hope you enjoy that while working your rear off.
Its more than the poor dumb sh its.

Oh I concur totally , my feeling is the ass holes in charge of the lending and so forth should be prosecuted for creating this mess.
My neighbor got her real estate liscence while the boom was going on and tried to get me to buy and I kept telling her I dont have money for a down payment , she said oh dont worry they will loan you money without a down , Im like how the hell can they do that , just didnt seem right to me. She badgered me for what seemed like weeks telling me how she "could get me in" all the while Im thinking this is just not right . So I will give equal credit to the people who sold the loans and the one's who bought into them , they are all knuckleheads.

Car companies are not solely to blame for their problems. The unions crippled them for years which led to the foreign companies dominance by not having crippling labor obligations including pension and healthcare for retired employees, many of which were in their early 50's which means they were going to live for a long time.

I am so on the same page with you about the unions , I grew up in Pittsburgh and watched the unions kill the steel industry .

The type of cars they were pushing (while
using governement incentives "cash" to make cheaper
fuel efficient cars) was a huge error. They gambled
on a big car market that was small and lost.
And the CEO's did not fall on
their swords. They went away with bonuses
that would offset all the crap the unions pushed.

I wonder if the CEO's can get health insurance
having avoided falling on their swords...

saw in the paper yesterday that our auto industry contributes 10% of the jobs in this country-i'd imagine that's the main reason the govt felt the need to bail them out. that and they're union, and dems generally favor labor, and vice versa.
