Actually it crashed because the feds made banks lower standards for loans. The banks didn't care. They were going to sell them off anyway.
The whole thing started years before GW when Clinton wanted more minority home ownership. Because many minorities didn't qualify, they simply lowered the qualifications so minorities could get loans. The lowered them so much that everybody was jumping on the bandwagon because you can't lower the standards for just one group of people. You have to lower them for everybody.
Guy, I know this is what they told you on Hate Radio, but it just isn't true.
Make this simple for you. Where were the worst effects of the housing crash felt. It wasn't Cleveland, St. Louis, the west side of Chicago, all the places poor people live.
Nope.
It was Nevada, Florida, Southern California, all the places where they were throwing up McMansions on every patch of weeds they could find.
Out where I live, they were throwing up McMansions so fast when the recession hit, we had whole rows of them that sat empty because no one could afford to buy them.
If I have a problem with a UPS or FedEx delivery, they handle it in a professional way. They consider me the customer. Try that with your PO. We had a spell of several months here of our mail being put into different mailboxes, and sometimes not getting mail at all or late. When I complained to the post office, they basically said they could care less.
Guy, has it occured to you that the reason why you get awful service wherever you go, IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE. Seriously, the union truck drivers don't unload you, the post office loses your stuff, your neighbors play music at all hours... and they don't realize you are a white man and you are ENTITLED, bitches.
Most of those bankruptcies are not related to medical costs. If a person has a serious injury or surgery and is out of work for several months, the medical bills are not what caused them to go into bankruptcy. It's the car loan(s), the mortgage, credit card bills and so on.
Um, no, it's the medical bills.
In fact, of those 62% who went into bankruptcy because of medical crisis, 75% of them had insurance when the crisis started.
I take care of my own medical bills thank you. Why should somebody with money get the same care as somebody that doesn't? This is the problem with Socialized medicine. You get whoever the government gives you and like it. With private pay and insurance, you get who YOU want, not what the government wants.
Well, gee, let's remember, ONE MORE TIME- RAY CAN'T GET INSURANCE THROUGH HIS JOB AND HE'S TOO RACIST TO APPLY FOR OBAMACARE.
But he is under the illusion he has "choice". Yeah, sure.
For the same reason your ability to buy a home or car are in proportion to what you can afford.
Sorry, that's still fucked up, and not the way the rest of the world does it.
I was expecting such an answer. Give us medical care and send the bill to somebody else. But give us medical care and we all pay for it? Not in the Democrat model. You can't buy votes that way.
Sure we can.. Single Payer is going to be fantastically popular.
70% of Americans now support Medicare-for-all—here's how single-payer could affect you
