In some cases the homeowner took excessive risk when he assumed that the value of his property would continue to appreciate at a high rate. In all cases I think the mortgage brokers wrote mortgages which they knew were likely, if not certainly, going to fail. However, once the broker sold the mortgage to a bank (how stupid and greedy were the banks) the broker had his profit even if the homeowner defaulted later on.<br /><br />The sign's message reflects the selfishness and greed that rule both our public and private sectors, both consumers and business. America will not succeed if any means is justified by the end especially when the means is taking advantage of others; taking value out of the economy rather than delivering value to the economy.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832376808513132553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-24441788201298269682009-05-05T15:00:00.000-05:002009-05-05T15:00:00.000-05:00Late thinking about this, but I realized that I do...Late thinking about this, but I realized that I don't mind the sign. It's plain speaking and we don't have enough plain speaking.<br /><br />There is a point at which I WOULD mind the sign: if it was out in front of someone's house who was in foreclosure and being bailed out: that would be mean. but in front of an irresponsible bank or mortgage company? I'm good with that.<br /><br />We have to be spears: strong and pointed.Therese Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03925404067634150968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-83557486647245678772009-05-05T11:19:00.000-05:002009-05-05T11:19:00.000-05:00after reading all those comments, I want some viag...after reading all those comments, I want some viagra. anyway, I've seen that song clip for years and years, but never Knew why it was a big deal that "he ain't heavy".

I do like that, because I think our Lord must be highly grieved to see us so lacking in compassion for our fellow human beings.NCSuehttp://acts17verse28.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
