Yeah. Those home buyers sure took advantage of the banks. Bastards!
We can pretend these people are victims, or we can realize that no one forced them to sign on the dotted line and hold them accountable as adults for their decisions. They were greedy, the mortgage people were greedy, everybody was fuckin' greedy, and here we are. This was a team effort.

Another vivid example of why I no longer bother to engage you in conversation. As is the case with many other partisan ideologues, you seem simply incapable of being intellectually honest for any dependable length of time.
I didn't come close to saying that "those home buyers sure took advantage of the banks". In fact, and I've made the effort to put my own words in bold and red for you above, I said the "the mortgage people were greedy", and "this was a team effort".
As I wrote there, and as I've droned on and on about in countless other threads (many of which I'm sure you're read, since you clearly pay very close attention to my posts), the list of villains and culprits in the Meltdown is long and wide. If you want to concentrate your attention on Those Evil, Mean & Greedy Banks, that's your call. But that won't stop you from pretending I'm only blaming consumers, because that's the way you roll.
Seriously, please hump someone else's leg, play your tedious little games with someone else, thanks. Plenty of right-wing partisan ideologues around here for you.
Sheesh.
