I have had three mortgages in my lifetime. No bank ever forced my into any one of them. For each mortgage, I knew precisely the terms and the monthly payment the bank was "saddling" me with.

Exactly!

When did "taking responsibility for one's decisions" stop being a conservative standard?

I believe there are some who would through their conservative ideals out the window for the almighty dollar. RINOS do it all the time. It really is a shame.

There really is such a thing as honor and integrity, no matter WHAT the situation is. No one forces anyone to make a bad choice.
