Then the fed should have put them up for sale to ordinary schmucks who needed a place to live and financed them with 30 year 3% mortgages. Yeah, I know. We couldn't do that because there are laws in place to protect the wealthy.

Instead we let the free market handle it, except for our 700 Billion dollar infusion of So************************m to the rich. And then we let the banksters fuck the ordinary schmucks a second time. I mean seriously this whole thing is fucking rotten.

Sounds about right to me.
