The government forcing banks to make loans to people who the banks know would not be capable of paying back is just like later scenes in Atlas Shrugged.That is the Midas Mulligan versus Lee Hunsacker business that comes later. I'll be writing an essay in that thread linking Hunsacker to Dennis Kucinich, who as mayor of Cleveland over 30 year ago, was on the cutting edge of all this.

How about Rahm Emmanuel’s quote: “You don’t ever want a crisis to go to waste. It’s an opportunity to do important things you would otherwise avoid.”
Or this headline on Yahoo News:
“Financial burden of homeownership spread unequally”
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/housing_thirty_eight_percent
These Remind me of Atlas Shrugged.
