Common sense should have prevailed in the millions who bought these homes. These aren't poor people, by and large, these are middle class yokels who thought because they had 100k in real or imaginary equity--they were rich and the good times were never going to end.

I know who these people are. I live among them. They deserve to lose their homes. 90 percent of them.

There is plenty of GREED to go around. The GREED on wall street couldn't have been perpetuated without the GREED on Main Street. Because someone is bought out for 900 million doesn't make the guy who was bought out for 100k any more noble.

No, it doesn’t. However, is it ten noble to take these people’s homes back AND get bailed out by that very same person ?

It takes 2 to tango, and the banks are not the innocents here. Those of us who are not banks and bought what we could afford are the clear innocents; everyone else is dirty. Neither one shouldn’t get my tax dollars.
