{stupid bailout}

Really? We are going to reward all those idiots out there who decided they would purchase homes that they darn-well KNEW they couldn't afford just because a bank was dumb enough to give them a loan?

I am so sick and tired of hearing about how it's all the evil lending industry's fault. Although I agree that they are partially to blame, what ever happen to ACCOUNTABILITY? I'm so sure that the dimwit in the loan office didn't understand that their $60K salary wasn't going to afford them the $350,000 home they were asking to purchase... yeah right. If not, perhaps said dimwit should have been seeking a loan for furthering his education so he could invest in a couple simple math classes.

I'm so sick and tired of people getting a free ride for obvious stupidity. There's no lesson learned there, just incentive to make the same mistake again.

Just a bit flustered today, that's all.

(I guess I should assert that I understand that some people have suffered job losses and unforeseeable tribulations that are reason for their poverty. I'm not talking about these people - just the irresponsible ones.)
