"Predatory Lenders" and Abortionists
3/31/16 | sff

Ruminating about all the vitriol blasted toward Trump over the past few hours, something struck me.

I would like FREEPer's thoughtful opinions on the subject.

Would it be fair for conservatives to treat ABORTIONISTS, those "doctors" who murder unborn children, with the same rhetoric as the liberals have treated so-called (and apparent) "predator lenders"--loan officers and bank underwriters who put people in homes they KNOW they cannot afford.

In the end, the buyer loses their house, the mother her child. While the murderer/banker gets money.

I know this may not be a perfect analogy.

Just wondering if DT might have better said "Chris, she has lost a baby. Isn't that enough?"

I thought maybe you would have sobered up by now. :-)

“Well, first of all, remember you have to distinguish between supervision and enforcement. A lot of the problems which we had in the independent issuers of subprime and other such mortgages, the basic problem there is that, if you don’t have enforcement, and a lot of that stuff was just plain fraud, you’re not coming to grips with the issue.”
--Alan Greenspan

Is just plain fraud more moral, or less moral, than just plain abortion?
