  • Elizabeth Warren Highlights Washington's Losing Housing Battle  [View article]
    To say that this was done as a way for main street to afford a house is ignorance to the max. Look at who was pushing for de-regulation and you will see why all these "affordable housing" programs were created for. Also, look at who benefits the most by all these remedial "save the home" programs. Also, look at who is having "record earnings" to see who is benefiting the most of. Also, look at who bought the most congressmen in the financial committees. The answer to all of those questions is: The to big to fail CEOs.

  • Housing Bubble, The Sequel [View article]
    Ah the irony it took an African American president to turn so many Americans into 'indentured servant'. If this doesn't have all the makings of a "let them eat cake" from the public I don't know what it does. To be honest I voted for him because of the "change" thing. All the change I see, however, is the few coins I will be left with when his presidency ends (hopefully single term)

    The bill is not to save housing but to save the banks by passing all that bad debt to tax payers.
