You did right in speaking your peace because you are correct in what you said. It was the greedy morgage brokers, bankers and people who brought homes knowing that it was wrong. What gets me mad is that no one is going to jail for violating various laws when applying for these home loans.
All I have to say is personal responsibility!!!! You can blame who ever you want but if you are in a house that you could never afford then it is YOUR fault. I am so tired of people blaming the banks, the brokers, the whatever! Take some personal responbility for your actions. If you don’t understand what you are signing then ask for some help. At the end of my life when I stand before God I am sure if I blame everything that I did on other people he is really going to buy it! You will be judged on your own actions.
Can we get a tea party in the Fort Lauderdale - Miami area?
Since when is “rent” the most offensive four letter word in America? Losing a house that shouldn’t have been bought to begin with is not the end of the world. Rent!
Why is it that it’s only Conservative talk shows talking about Barney Frank and Harry Reid and all the Democrats (and so-called Republicans) who fought against regulation of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, and virtually forced banks to make loans to people who couldn’t afford it being the root cause of the mess we’re in now? With their help and the help of artificially low interest rates, housing prices were ARTIFICIALLY inflated–they HAD to come down!! The Market isn’t the problem, GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM! This administration is frightening.
Was this the “change” you people wanted? How about the Constitution and individual rights? If you want Socialism, move to another country. This one was founded on the rights, freedom and potential of the individual–and with the opportunity to succeed comes the chance of failure! The crap the Democrats are taking on the Constitution is frightening.
He knows the market didn’tcause this meldown all by itself. Forcing banks to make bad loans wasa government decision.
Santelli didn’t exactly present it properly. It’s not a matter of “regulating”; it’s a matter of government keeping its damned hands out of the free market and letting investors decide who to loan money to. The government sanctioning or advocating home loans is a doorway to corruption and financial ruin!
Of course, some of us knew this to be true BEFORE the current crisis. But we were just idiots back then.
Now Liesman and liberal economists are the idiots.
The market can not work it self out of its melt down because to the GOVERNMENT! Let the market work and the MARKET will work it self out of the melt down!!!
Read Friedman instead of MARX.
Read the Bill of Rights instead of creating a government planned economy.
Gee, did this asshole complain when Bush threw $700,000,000,000 to Wall St. to cover their gambling losses on the driveatives market?
Didn’t think so.
Go piss up a rope.
